Sub-Funds

Invest in our 

sub-funds

Since inception, the Debt-Sub Fund has outperformed its returns target and experienced cumulated losses of less than 0.01%. The Equity Sub-Funds are on track to deliver their projected internal rate of return (IRR).


Each of our debt and equity sub-funds has its own shareholders, operates independently, and maintains separate financial records. For instance, an investment in the Debt Sub-Fund is unaffected by any potential losses or profits incurred by the Equity Sub-Funds and vice versa.
