Aura Private Credit Income Fund

The Aura Private Credit Income Fund or APCIF was launched in August 2017 and is managed by Aura Credit Holdings Pty. Ltd. The Fund provides funding to niche non-bank lenders that specialise in providing finance to small-to-medium businesses (SMEs) in Australia by way of warehouse financing structures. These warehouse facilities are typically segmented into 3 Notes (or tranches).

 

The Fund currently provides funding to 7 SME lending originators via separate warehouse financing structures (and a contributory mortgage scheme). By way of these originators, the Fund provides access to a portfolio of over 13,000 loans.

Investment Objective

The Fund aims to provide stable monthly income returns from a diversified portfolio of debt securities, including asset-backed SME loans, director-guaranteed SME loans, and senior and subordinated loans to non-bank lenders secured against a loan portfolio that provides capital stability. The Fund aims to generate a return in excess of the performance benchmark of the Reserve Bank of Australia Cash Rate + 5% (currently 8.85% p.a.)
