Hunter Diversified Private Credit Fund
The Hunter Diversified Private Credit Fund is exclusively available through JBWere NZ and Jarden Wealth.
Hunter’s Diversified Private Credit Fund provides exposure to non-bank lending both directly and via third-party managers, offering a moderate risk profile and monthly subscriptions and redemptions. It caters to investors wanting less investment risk than the longer-dated illiquid strategies of private equity or venture capital. Hunter has a track record of delivering stated performance objectives in similar strategies for over 7 years.
Designed to be a relatively conservative acceptable investment for New Zealand’s Active Investor Plus (AIP) visa with the provision of liquidity
The Fund focuses on directly supporting New Zealand businesses through private, non-publicly traded investments. While this implies some illiquidity, our diversified portfolio structure provides regular repayments through amortisation and loan maturities.
Truly diversified exposure
Once fully deployed, with a portfolio expected to comprise over 40 borrowers across sectors and structures, the Fund provides broad access to private credit markets. This depth supports consistent income, lowers concentration risk, and offers greater flexibility to manage liquidity over time. Few private credit strategies in New Zealand offer this level of diversification.
Dual investment origination for deeper opportunity access
The Fund combines Harbour’s own origination and underwriting with allocations to specialist third-party managers. This approach expands our reach across the fragmented private credit landscape, capturing a broader set of opportunities.
Attractive risk/return profile in a unique market
New Zealand’s highly concentrated banking system creates structural gaps in credit provision, especially to SMEs and specialist borrowers. These underserved areas often offer compelling yields with strong security packages and low default rates. Private lenders like Harbour are well-placed to fill these gaps with selective, well-structured loans.
