Endowus has introduced a standalone European private credit investment strategy, marking a shift from its previous portfolio-only approach. The offering is now available to accredited and professional investors in Singapore and Hong Kong.
Why it matters
The partnership aims to democratize access to alternative investments by providing private wealth clients with lower minimums and fees than traditional private credit vehicles. It also offers investors exposure to European markets that operate on different economic cycles and currency dynamics than US-focused alternatives.
CVC manages 52 billion euros across its credit platform and possesses over 20 years of experience in the sector. As of June 30, 2025, the firm is ranked as the largest Collateralised Loan Obligation manager by principal liabilities.
