IFSAM on Asian Investor: Flexibility becomes the battleground in private credit deals
Discover how IFS Asset Management is redefining private credit in Asia-Pacific. CIO Charis Liau shares how asset-backed lending and disciplined underwriting offer resilient, flexible financing for SMEs and stable returns for investors.
As SMEs and mid-market corporates navigate uneven cash flows and tighter bank lending, demand is growing for structured, asset-backed solutions that offer flexibility without compromising discipline.
At the same time, investors are becoming more discerning, prioritising capital protection, disciplined underwriting and consistent returns over chasing yield. Amid today’s volatility, private credit is stepping up as a stabilising force, offering both resilience and opportunity.
In a recent AsianInvestor feature, our Chief Investment Officer, Charis Liau, CFA, shared how this evolution is redefining private credit’s role, from an alternative lender to a strategic capital partner. This approach is particularly relevant across high-growth sectors such as services, logistics, trade, industrials, and digital commerce, where financing gaps remain wide but potential is immense.
At IFSAM, we’re committed to advancing asset-backed lending strategies that blend flexibility with disciplined risk management, driving sustainable growth across ASEAN markets.
