Historically Asian credit has been generally accessed only via long only or highly volatile, high risk alternative strategies with very low liquidity (especially during times of stress) – high yield, distressed and convertible arbitrage strategies.
The Sentosa Asian Credit Fund (“SACF” or the “Fund”) is a liquid Asian ex-Japan credit fund investing in both local currency bonds (SGD, THB, CNH, etc) and hard currency bonds (USD, EUR, etc).
Sentosa Capital is a Singapore based fund management company founded by Brad Levitt and Charlie Wang who built and ran Standard Chartered Bank’s (“SCB”) bond/credit business both in Asia & globally.
The Fund utilizes a risk/return/liquidity trade off combined with leverage, targeting near high yield returns with a higher weighted average portfolio credit rating, lower default risk and much greater liquidity.
