A unit of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) has invested in Dignari Capital Partners (DCP), a Hong Kong-based private credit investment manager, as part of its strategy to expand exposure to real estate-linked private credit opportunities.
The wholly owned subsidiary of the sovereign wealth fund committed capital to Dignari’s Asia Pacific Developed Markets Private Credit Strategy, a fund focused on financing opportunities linked to the real estate sector. The financial terms of the investment were not disclosed.
Fund to Target Real Estate Financing in Asia-Pacific
According to Dignari, the fund will provide financing to developers, construction companies and related sectors across developed markets in the Asia-Pacific region, with a particular focus on Hong Kong.
The initiative is designed to support real estate projects while offering investors exposure to private credit opportunities in established property markets.
ADIA, which manages more than $1 trillion in assets on behalf of the United Arab Emirates government, has been steadily increasing its investments in the private credit sector, particularly in real estate-related financing strategies.
Expanding Private Credit Investments
Earlier this week, ADIA also announced a partnership with French private investment firm Ardian to launch a real estate secondaries platform aimed at expanding opportunities in global property markets.
Separately, Christofferson, Robb & Company (CRC), a private credit manager headquartered in New York City and London, has reached an agreement with an ADIA subsidiary to establish a new fund focused on Significant Risk Transfer (SRT) transactions and other growth strategies.
Under the agreement, ADIA will also acquire a participation interest in the firm, further strengthening its position in the expanding private credit market.
