MA Specialty Credit Income Fund (SCISX) Quickly Crosses the $100mm AUM Mark

MA Financial Group Limited an ASX-listed global alternative asset manager announced that its North American flagship vehicle has exceeded $100mm (AUM).

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- MA Financial Group Limited ("MA") (ASX: MAF) an ASX-listed global alternative asset manager with over US $6.8 billion AUM, today announced that its North American flagship vehicle, the MA Specialty Credit Income Fund has exceeded $100mm in assets under management (AUM). The fund was declared effective by the SEC on December 17th, 2024, with $71mm in AUM with the goal of providing investors access to a directly originated and a portfolio of income generating assets within asset-based finance.

“The growth of this segment of private credit has been driven by investor demand for alternative offerings which complement their traditional exposure to direct lending” said Ashees Jain, US Chief Investment Officer of MA Asset Management. “The timing was important to offer this strategy in an interval fund, combining the strength of our market leading direct origination platform and investment process into a non-accredited interval fund accessible by all investor types.”

The Fund offers access to a portfolio of directly originated asset based and specialty finance opportunities including insurance premium finance, prime consumer receivables, debt settlements, and traditional asset backed lending. The Fund seeks to tactically allocate capital to the best relative value opportunities across the consumer, commercial and esoteric market segments.

The interval fund structure provides investors with daily pricing, 1099 tax reporting, and quarterly liquidity with a fund-level minimum repurchase of 5% of all shares outstanding. It also allows non-accredited investors the opportunity to access less liquid, higher yielding investments that provide a monthly income distribution.

“While the fund has just recently become available to the RIA community, we recognize the importance of crossing this milestone. It validates our decision to bring an interval fund to the marketplace and reflects the early confidence we have seen from investors” said JP Marra, Head of US Asset Management for MA.

The Fund is currently available on the Fidelity platform.
