The Australian Financial Review has profiled the limited opening of the Fancourt
Specialised Finance Fund (FSFF), which has already attracted strong commitments
from investors since its launch on Tuesday.
The article highlights FSFF’s differentiated role in Australia’s private credit
landscape. Managed by Fancourt Capital Group, FSFF provides structured, asset-
backed debt capital to financial services businesses.
Since inception in 2024, the Fund has generated a net internal rate of return (IRR) of
12.2% per annum, reflecting both disciplined structuring and Fancourt’s deep domain
expertise in credit.
Fancourt itself is an investment firm that sponsors and incubates financial services
businesses and fund managers, with a particular focus on credit and capital
solutions. Through equity positions in portfolio companies that collectively manage
more than A$8.5 billion in assets, Fancourt partners with founders and management
teams to build enduring, best-in-class platforms across financial services.
The AFR profile underscored how FSFF sits alongside these portfolio businesses as
a dedicated fund product, providing institutional and wholesale investors with access
to a strategy that combines strong risk management, secured lending, and
consistent yield.
