Maybank Asset Management launches private credit fund with LGT Capital Partners

Maybank Asset Management Sdn Bhd (MAM) has launched the MAMG Global Private Credit Fund (the Fund), a feeder fund that seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and income by investing into the LGT Global Private Credit S.A., SICAV-RAIF.

Through this structure, MAM extends its private markets offering to high-net-worth (HNW) investors in Malaysia via a strategic partnership with LGT Capital Partners, a leading global specialist in alternative investing based in Switzerland. The Fund marks a significant milestone whereby MAM becomes the exclusive third-party entity to offer this strategy to individual investors in Malaysia, reflecting the depth of alignment underpinning this partnership and the selectivity with which LGT Capital Partners approaches its distribution relationships.

That alignment is foundational to the strategy. The LGT Endowment, the firm’s principal investment portfolio launched in 1998, represents a significant anchor commitment within the Target Fund, ensuring investment decisions are made with the same long-term orientation that defines institutional stewardship. Combined with LGT Capital Partners' long-term investment philosophy, its established track record in private credit and a globally diversified portfolio across multiple strategies, this partnership offers Malaysian HNW investors an entry point into one of the fastest growing asset classes in alternative investments and a space that has historically been accessible by institutional investors only.

Hisham Hamzah, CEO of Maybank Asset Management Sdn Bhd, said, “For us, this is more than a new fund launch. At MAM, we have been deliberate in how we expand our private markets capabilities, and every step has been taken with a clear view of where we want to be over the next decade. Partnering with LGT Capital Partners to bring an established quality private credit strategy to Malaysian HNW investors is precisely the kind of move that defines that journey. We are building something that lasts."

Daniel Rauti, partner and member of the executive committee at LGT Capital Partners, said, “We are pleased to partner with Maybank, the largest bank in Malaysia, to make this strategy available through its wealth management platform. At LGT Capital Partners, private credit is not approached as a single allocation, but through the construction of a diversified portfolio across strategies and geographies, based on our endowment-style investment approach. In the current environment, we see private credit as an important complement to traditional fixed income, potentially offering an additional source of income and diversification.”

The Fund is intended for sophisticated investors with a long-term investment horizon who are prepared for the risks associated with private credit, including illiquidity risk and credit risk. Denominated in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) as the base currency, the Fund is offered across multiple share classes, including MYR, MYR (Hedged), USD, AUD (Hedged), and SGD (Hedged) classes, with minimum initial investment amount of MYR 50,000 ($12,517), $50,000, AUD 50,000 ($35,842) and SGD 50,000 ($39,012), respectively.

Investors are advised to read and understand the contents of the Fund's Product Highlights Sheet and Information Memorandum, dated 19 May 2026, before making any investment decisions. The MAMG Global Private Credit Fund is exclusively available to Maybank customers through Maybank Private Banking and Maybank Wealth Management channels.
