Heron Finance Expands Client Portfolio with Antares Private Credit Fund

Heron Finance, a leading private credit investment platform, has announced the addition of the Antares Private Credit Fund (ABDC) to its investment offerings. This new addition aims to provide accredited investors and registered investment advisors (RIAs) with enhanced portfolio diversification opportunities.

Strengthening Portfolio Diversity

In today's financial landscape, diversification is crucial for investors to manage risk and improve returns. With the inclusion of the Antares Private Credit Fund, which is managed by Antares Capital—a firm with a rich history and strong reputation since its founding in 1996—Heron Finance is positioning itself to offer its clients advanced investment strategies. “We're thrilled to provide our clients with access to such a reputable fund,” said Mike Sall, the CEO of Heron Finance. “The presence of the Antares Private Credit Fund allows us to assist both individual investors and RIAs in generating consistent income through a diversified portfolio of respected fund managers.”

Exceptional Fund Management Experience

One of the appealing aspects of the Antares Fund is the extensive experience of its management team, which boasts an average of over 21 years in navigating complex market conditions. This group of seasoned private credit managers has proven their capability to weather turbulent periods in financial history, such as the Global Financial Crisis and the European sovereign debt crisis. Their experience is crucial, especially in today's unpredictable market environment.

Khang Nguyen, Chief Credit Officer at Heron Finance, stated, “The private credit managers available on our platform have a wealth of experience, essential for making informed investment choices.” The Antares Private Credit Fund is one of several funds that benefit from these expert insights, providing investors with a solid pathway to income generation.

Comprehensive Private Credit Market Access

The addition of the Antares Private Credit Fund brings Heron Finance’s total count of private credit funds to over a dozen, with exposure to more than 3,500 loans across all sectors of the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). With this wide-ranging access, clients can invest in a well-rounded portfolio that includes reliable income-generating assets. Heron's proprietary scorecard system, which evaluates numerous factors before selecting funds, ensures that only high-quality investments are made available to clients.

Moreover, the managers associated with Heron Finance's platform collectively oversee more than $1 trillion in private credit assets, commanding a significant share of the global private credit market. This scale emphasizes the credibility and appeal of investments offered through Heron Finance’s platform.
