HSBC Asset Management closes USD 1 billion anchor round for first-vintage NAV Financing Partnership Strategy

15 June 2026 - HSBC Asset Management (HSBC AM) has announced the successful anchor round closing for its first-vintage NAV Financing Partnership Strategy, raising USD1 billion from a globally diverse institutional investor base across the fund and associated mandates.

The fundraise round is anchored by commitments from leading insurance and pension investors, as well as from within the HSBC Group. The strategy will continue fundraising during 2026, and into 2027.

The NAV Financing Partnership Strategy invests in a diversified portfolio of senior secured loans financing high-quality European and Asian-based private equity funds' portfolio growth. These loans are secured and collateralised by the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the underlying investment portfolios and are rated investment grade and follow ILPA disclosure frameworks.

Built on disciplined underwriting and conservative structures, the NAV strategy aims to target attractive returns, with the added benefit of an Investment Grade (IG) rating and underlying diversification. The strategy is managed by HSBC Asset Management's Capital Solutions Team and leverages a partnership agreement with HSBC Bank plc, one of the main players in the NAV financing market.

The NAV strategy is part of HSBC AM's Alternative Credit platform and highlights its ability to create attractive high-grade asset backed financing strategies for institutional investors.

Thorsten Michalik, CEO HSBC Alternatives, said:

"Our NAV Financing strategy continues to attract sustained interest from well- established insurance and pension investors, as well as sophisticated family offices, seeking access to a performing and resilient asset class at this point in the cycle. We greatly value the support of our cornerstone investors as we deliver innovative, high-quality investment solutions with a distinctive HSBC perspective. We look forward to building on this momentum ahead of the final close."

Borja Azpilicueta, Head of Capital Solutions at HSBC AM said:

"We are focused on financing mid-market, real economy private equity portfolios and private equity managers at a time when this form of capital is key to anchoring their next phase of growth. Through our partnership with HSBC Bank, we can provide Sponsors with flexible and efficient solutions, leveraging our platform across Europe and Asia. The successful closing of our anchor round reflects clear endorsement from top tier institutional investors in our expertise and origination capabilities. We are grateful to our investors and borrower partners for their continued support."
