Nuveen raises A$705M from Australian Investors for Arcmont’s European Direct Lending Strategy

We are excited to announce a significant milestone for Nuveen’s Australian institutional partnerships and Arcmont’s European direct lending platform.

Brighter Super, JANA Private Credit Trust and two other leading Australian institutional investors have committed a combined A$705 million to a dedicated portfolio managed by Arcmont Asset Management, an investment affiliate of Nuveen. This strategy provides Australian investors access to senior secured, unitranche and subordinated loans to European mid and upper-mid-sized companies, with a focus on non-cyclical, defensive sectors.

This partnership reflects growing appetite among Australian institutions for high-quality, income-generating private credit strategies, offering diversification potential not readily accessible in the domestic market. It also builds on Arcmont’s 15-year track record, having raised capital from over 500 global investors and fostered more than 135 sponsor relationships throughout Europe.

Thank you to our partners at Brighter Super and JANA for their continued trust and collaboration, and congratulations to everyone involved in bringing Arcmont’s highly regarded platform to Australian institutions.
