European private credit management firm Pemberton Asset Management has revealed that its new NAV Strategic Financing plan will be anchored by a fully owned subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA).
ADIA’s investment is anticipated to lead to a first close for the NAV Strategic Financing Strategy exceeding $1bn in the upcoming weeks, along with commitments from other investors.
NAV Strategic Financing takes advantage of the expanding private equity fund finance market to offer non-dilutive strategic capital options to funds and general partners in the private equity industry.
In addition to providing money for accretive portfolio business investments like bolt-on acquisitions, Pemberton expects the strategy to give GPs the growth capital they need to support expanded fund commitments, succession planning, and strategic initiatives.
The NAV Strategic Financing Strategy is a logical expansion of Pemberton’s direct lending platform, which currently provides loan solutions for individual assets.
It also allows Pemberton to offer a greater choice of products to its private equity buyout community.
