Private debt is fast emerging as an asset class for APAC investors, as evidenced by an average annual 30% growth in the number of investors in the asset class over the past five years. The largest investors in the asset class are from Australia, led by superannuation fund AustralianSuper, which has $11.6bn of its $178.6bn AUM in private debt. Six other Australian institutions feature in the top 10 investors, alongside entities from Malaysia, South Korea and Hong Kong. But the biggest growth is in emerging markets, led by the ASEAN countries. The number of investors in the young and populous economic bloc more than tripled (214%) between 2018 to September 2022, while China is another key growth driver, with total private debt investors more than doubled (110%).
