SINGAPORE, February 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IFS Asset Management (“IFSAM”), a licensed fund management company which is a subsidiary of IFS Capital Limited and part of the PhillipCapital Groupwas rewarded Fund Launch of the Year in Singapore to the Asia Asset Management Best of the Best Awards 2026 (“AAM Awards”)recognizing the successful launch and market impact of the IFSAM Private Credit Income Fund (“IPCIF”).
The AAM Awards celebrate exceptional innovation, performance and leadership across the financial industry in the Asia Pacific region. The Singapore Fund Launch of the Year Award recognizes the most successful fund launch in Singapore, based on quality execution, innovation and measurable market impact. IFSAM was selected for its disciplined and differentiated approach to launching a scalable private credit solution adapted to the changing needs of investors.
The IFSAM Private Credit Income Fund was introduced as part of a coordinated launch strategy encompassing product design, investor education, distribution readiness and operational scalability. The fund saw strong early adoption, reflecting investor demand for income-focused strategies. A key differentiator behind this award was the fund’s innovative structure, which filled a long-standing gap in Singapore’s private credit market.
The fund is among the first semi-liquid, open-end private credit funds in Singapore designed for wealth distribution channels, bridging the gap between illiquid open-end private credit funds and daily liquidity fixed income products. This investor-centric design has expanded investor access to private credit while maintaining a focus on senior secured asset-backed loans and prudent risk management.
IFSAM’s strategy is centered on the opportunities offered by Asia’s underpenetrated private credit market, focusing on senior secured and real estate-backed loans to fill the financing gap for creditworthy SMEs. By integrating liquidity design, governance and scalability from the outset, the strategy sets a new benchmark for how private credit funds can be structured to ensure their resilience in Singapore’s private markets landscape.
Drawing on nearly four decades of IFS Capital credit experience, IFSAM combines institutional-grade risk management with deep local market expertise. This recognition reflects the firm’s ability to design and deliver resilient, well-structured and relevant private credit strategies throughout market cycles.
“This recognition not only confirms the strength of IFSAM’s flagship private credit strategy, but also our broader commitment to creating high-quality, income-driven private credit solutions designed to perform throughout market cycles,” said Randy Sim, CEO of IFS Capital Group.
“From the start, the strategy was designed around structure, discipline and scalability,” said Charis Liau, chief investment officer of IFS Asset Management. “This recognition reflects our commitment to creating private credit solutions that are thoughtfully structured, resilient through market cycles and aligned with the evolving needs of investors.
