The Investment Objective of the La Trobe Private Credit Fund is to generate strong risk adjusted returns with consistent income via exposure to a diversified portfolio of high-quality Australian mortgage assets, U.S. private credit assets, cash and cash equivalents.

This will be achieved through the Fund’s investment in the 12 Month Term Account of the La Trobe Australian Credit Fund ARSN 088 178 321 and the La Trobe US Private Credit Fund ARSN 677 174 382 Class A – Wholesale Units.

The Fund seeks to achieve its Investment Objective over the medium term, being over a rolling 2 to 3 year investment horizon.

La Trobe Australian Credit Fund

The Fund will invest into the 12 Month Term Account of the La Trobe Australian Credit Fund. The 12 Month Term Account aims to provide Investors with a reasonably stable and predictable income based on a monthly variable rate of return, investing in a wide range of loans secured by first mortgages in a range of industry sectors, with geographic diversification across Australia. The 12 Month Term Account has substantial diversification of investment in loans secured by first mortgages. The 12 Month Term Account invests predominantly in loans secured by first mortgages, with the exception of cash, cash deposits or other asset allocation mandates for the account.

La Trobe US Private Credit Fund

The investment objective of the La Trobe US Private Credit Fund is to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation, by investing via underlying funds in a portfolio primarily comprised of directly originated predominantly senior secured first-lien term loans issued to U.S. corporate middle market companies (being companies with approximately US$15 million to US$200 million in annual EBITDA).

It is anticipated that LF1 will list on the ASX during June 2025.

 
Is this the same mob who are advertising high interest saving deposits? Or is it a building society in La Trobe Valley doing so. ?

***

The Fund has a target cash distribution yield of RBA Official Cash Rate1 + 3.25% p.a.2. This is equivalent to the above yield as at 26 May 2025. (Net of fees, costs and taxes incurred by the Fund, paid monthly).

i doubt i will be rushing in at the float , but might be worth watching it case market sentiment goes cautious on them

( and if you have a financial advisory it might be wise to get an opinion from them also )

the former

Charles Joseph La Trobe (20 March 1801 – 4 December 1875), commonly Latrobe, was appointed in 1839 superintendent of the Port Phillip District of New South Wales and, after the establishment in 1851 of the colony if Victoria, he became its first lieutenant- governor.

So he's like a Macquarie of the South..... gain kudos through association (= basic branding)

here's the answer. from the PR handout dutifully repeated in the AFR:

..."The firm’s private equity owner Brookfield have been preparing to kick off a formal process in the next few weeks to sell La Trobe, or potentially list it on the ASX...

...La Trobe is also looking to expand its product offering. It is currently raising up to $300 million for a new ASX-listed private credit fund, which will invest in private credit opportunities in Australia and the mid-market segment of the US private credit industry. Andrews says a real estate fund and an infrastructure fund will follow later in the year.

The main goal with these products is to give investors more defensive options for their portfolios. While Andrews does not rule out growth products down the track, he’s aware of the potential for style drift away from La Trobe’s focus on consistent, reliable returns....


later on ..

"...This is effectively the fourth time in about 10 years that the business has been through one of these processes, including when it was sold by the founding O’Neill family in 2017 to Blackstone...
