Private credit provides investors with access to lending opportunities outside traditional public debt markets. These investments are typically privately negotiated and may be secured against property, business assets or other forms of collateral.
Supporting Diversified Portfolios Through Private Credit Investments
Traditional bank lending is generally focused on standardised lending criteria and regulatory capital requirements.
Private credit provides access to privately negotiated lending arrangements where loan structures, security and repayment terms may be tailored to the specific transaction and agreed between the parties.
This flexibility allows private credit to complement traditional sources of finance while providing investors with access to opportunities that may not be available through public debt markets.
Private Credit Overview:

Why Private Credit?
Private credit can complement traditional fixed income by providing access to privately negotiated lending opportunities that may offer different sources of income and return.
When appropriately selected and diversified, private credit may contribute to portfolio income, broaden exposure beyond public markets and provide access to investments supported by tangible security or contractual repayment obligations.
The role of private credit within a portfolio will depend on the investment strategy, liquidity requirements, risk profile and broader portfolio objectives.
Security & Structure
Security plays an important role in many private credit strategies.
Depending on the investment structure, loans may be supported by registered mortgages, security interests over business or financial assets, guarantees or other contractual protections.
Our focus is on understanding the strength, enforceability and coverage of those arrangements before investment and monitoring them throughout the life of the loan.
Managing Credit Risk
Private credit is not without risk.
Borrower default, changes in asset values, liquidity constraints, interest rate movements and changing economic conditions can affect investment outcomes.
We seek to manage these risks through disciplined underwriting, diversification, appropriate security, active monitoring and clearly defined investment parameters.
The objective is not to eliminate risk, but to ensure it is understood and appropriately managed within the investment strategy.
Active Credit Management
Credit management continues after a loan is originated.
Our investment team monitors borrower performance, security values, repayment obligations and relevant market conditions throughout the life of each investment.
Where circumstances change, we assess the implications for the borrower, the security position and the portfolio, allowing investment decisions to be made within the agreed mandate and risk framework.
Private Credit Within a Diversified Portfolio
Private credit is most effective when considered alongside the broader portfolio.
It may complement traditional fixed income, listed investments and other alternative assets by providing a different source of income and credit exposure.
Our portfolio construction process considers liquidity, diversification, asset correlation, income requirements and risk so that private credit serves a defined purpose within the overall investment strategy.
Origination & Investment Management
Private credit opportunities across the B. Moses Group are supported by specialist origination and lending capabilities.
B. Moses Asset Management is responsible for investment assessment, portfolio construction and investment management, while specialist businesses within the Group may originate, structure or administer individual lending opportunities.
This separation allows credit origination and investment management to operate within a coordinated framework while maintaining clearly defined responsibilities.
This is where I would link to Portica Securities, rather than allowing Portica to dominate the Private Credit page.
Private Credit & Fixed Income
Private credit and traditional fixed income can play complementary roles within diversified income portfolios.
Traditional fixed income typically provides exposure to publicly issued government and corporate debt, while private credit provides access to privately negotiated lending opportunities.
Together, these strategies can broaden income sources and provide greater flexibility in how income portfolios are constructed.

Why B. Moses Asset Management?
Our approach combines disciplined credit assessment, active investment management and access to specialist lending opportunities across the B. Moses Group.

This approach supports the development of diversified private credit portfolios designed around long-term investment objectives rather than individual transactions.
