11th January 2024 | Hong Kong
Singapore Temasek indirect subsidiary Azalea Investment Management has announced the first close of private equity funds for accredited investors (including institutions, family offices and high-net-worth individuals) with $356 million raised, with the $200 million Altrium Co-Invest Fund I investing in high-performing private equity fund managers, and the $156 million Altrium Growth Fund I investing in top-tier growth & venture capital funds. Azalea Investment Management is the management arm of the Azalea Group, a wholly- owned subsidiary of Azalea Asset Management (Wholly-owned subsidiary of Seviora Holdings which is in turn wholly-owned by Temasek). Announcement: “Azalea Investment Management is pleased to announce strong first closings of Altrium Co-Invest Fund I (“ACF I”) and Altrium Growth Fund I (“AGF I”) in December 2023. ACF I successfully secured US$200 million in its first closing since fundraising commenced in mid-2023. Leveraging Azalea’s extensive network and being part of the Temasek ecosystem, ACF I offers investors the opportunity to co-invest alongside renowned and high-performing private equity (“PE”) fund managers with strong operational and M&A capabilities. These managers focus on investing in US and European companies that demonstrate significant sector tailwinds or recession resilience. In parallel, AGF I marked its first closing at US$156 million. AGF I invests in top-tier growth and venture capital funds, maintaining a global mandate with a strong focus on the US. Given the recalibration in valuations and emergence of new trends such as Artificial Intelligence, Azalea believes that the fund is poised to invest during an opportune time in the growth and venture capital markets. Both ACF I and AGF I attracted commitments from a diverse range of investors including institutions, family offices and high-net-worth individuals. Azalea plans to hold the final closings of these funds in 2024 … … For retail investors, Azalea offers a complementary solution in the Astrea bond series which provides diversification in investors’ portfolios. These bonds, backed by cashflows from diversified portfolios of PE funds, present investors with attractive yields and strong downside protection. To date, Azalea has launched several series of Astrea PE bonds with Astrea 7 being the latest in May 2022. Two of the Astrea series, Astrea III and Astrea IV, have been fully redeemed.”

Margaret Lui, CEO of Azalea: “This milestone demonstrates the trust and confidence our investors have in Azalea’s strategic vision and our capability to identify unique investment opportunities, even in challenging market conditions.”
Chue En Yaw, CIO at Azalea: “ACF I and AGF I build on the success of our flagship Altrium PE fund of fund products, embodying the evolution of our product offerings to meet the demands of investors. These funds are designed to provide accredited investors diversified and resilient investment options, continuing the high-quality investment legacy of our Altrium platform.”
