Summary

  • The Allianz Asia Pacific Secured Lending Fund III will target mid-market private credit deals, lending to high-growth companies across Southeast Asia, South Asia, Oceania and selected APAC markets.
  • China is excluded from the fund's investment scope, narrowing its focus to other parts of the region's private credit market.
