Catholic super fund awards $90 million to credit

The industry fund has boosted its exposure to credit as it also looks to expand into private equity.

The Catholic Superannuation Retirement Fund (CSRF) has awarded $90 million to three investment managers.

The managers Colonial First State, Banquo and Wellington Asset Management will each manage a $30 million credit mandate.

"Like many funds we have made specific investments in credit. We have done this because the returns are expected to be equity like in the next couple of years," CSRF chief executive Greg Cantor said.

The fund also has plans to invest in private equity deals with a bias to secondary deals.

 
 

"There are perfectly good assets that some investors will need to off load due to their own liquidity problems.

"We are looking to engage managers with expertise in sourcing such deals."
