Direct Access to Senior Secured Loans

Gain direct access to large, senior secured bank syndicated loans offering attractive yields, predictable cash flows and additional protections for investors.

Why Invest in Syndicated Loans?

Syndicated loans have traditionally been out of reach for private investors and fund managers. IAM opens the door to accessing these senior secured syndicated term loans –  underwritten and structured by banks and global institutions – offering the same risk/return exposure typically reserved for institutional investors.

The Benefits of Investing in Senior Secured Loans

Income

Higher Risk-Adjusted Returns

IAM loan allocations typically yield 9%–14% p.a., significantly above traditional investment-grade bonds.

Capital preservation

Capital Stability

Loans are typically senior secured, giving you a first-ranking claim on assets in the event of default.

Diversification

Diversification

Add depth to portfolios across sector, borrower, and structure.

Why IAM for Syndicated Loans

  • You own the asset, not a unit in a fund: No pooled fund risk – direct exposure to the loan itself.
  • A trustee structure built for clarity: All loans are held under Trustees Australia Limited (TAL), our licensed bare trustee structure. You invest via a single counterparty, with your legal and beneficial interest in each specific loan protected.
  • Liquidity when you need it: Our internal credit trading desk can often facilitate an exit from your position, subject to market conditions — a flexibility layer rarely available in institutional loan markets.
  • Credit assessed twice over: We build on institutional syndicate bank due diligence with an additional review from our in-house credit committee.
  • Capital structure to match your risk appetite: From senior secured to mezzanine, access loan opportunities across the risk-return spectrum.
  • Reach across sectors: Our network spans Media and Telecommunications, Mining and Natural Resources, Transport Infrastructure, and Warehouse and Industrial assets.
  • Enquire about direct investing in Syndicated Term Loans
