Fund for CLO Equity Raised 0M by Lakemore Partners

Lakemore Partners Sets New Fundraising Record with Aquatine V

Lakemore Partners has raised an impressive 0 million for Aquatine V, a supermajority control collateralized loan obligation (CLO) equity fund. This amount surpasses the previous fund, Aquatine IV, by 40%, showcasing the growing interest in Lakemore’s investment strategies.

The private credit fund, totaling .7 billion, combines Lakemore’s own capital with investor allocations. The success of Aquatine V drew interest from institutional investors in the MENA region and across the U.S., with both new and repeat investors participating.

Aquatine V adhered to a Sharia-compliant framework, a common practice in the MENA region, and included a U.S. feeder fund tailored for American investors. Lakemore’s network now boasts seven strategic partners, with recent expansions involving U.S. CLO managers.

Upon full deployment, Aquatine V is projected to hold approximately 15 supermajority CLO equity positions, signaling a strong investment portfolio. Lakemore’s Chairman and CEO, Ahmed Faird, expressed pride in the fundraising success, emphasizing the trust investors have placed in the team’s expertise and strategy.

Established in 2016, Lakemore operates from offices in Phoenix, London, Dubai, and Zurich. The continued growth of the company’s fundraising efforts underlines its position as a leader in supermajority CLO equity investments.
