Australia's defense minister downplays concerns over Pentagon review of multi-billion submarine deal
BANGKOK (AP) — Australia's defense minister dismissed concerns Thursday that a deal between the U.S., Australia and Britain to provide his country with nuclear-powered submarines could be in jeopardy, following a report that the Pentagon had ordered a review. Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles told Sky News Australia that he had known about the review of the deal 'for some time,' saying that it was a 'very natural step for the incoming administration to take.' He noted that the UK's government also reviewed the deal, the centerpiece of a three-way alliance known as AUKUS after it was elected, and that his own government had looked at it as part of its own review of Australia's entire defense posture. 'I think an incoming government having a look at this is something that they have a perfect right to do and we welcome it and we'll work with it,' he said. The deal, worth more than $200 billion, was signed between the three countries in 2021 under then President Joe Biden, designed to provide Australia, one of Washington's staunchest allies in the region, with greater maritime capabilities to counter China's increasingly strong navy. The deal also involves the U.S. selling several of its Virginia-class submarines to Australia to bridge the gap as the new submarines are being jointly built. In January, Australia made the first of six $500 million payments to the U.S. under the AUKUS deal, meant to bolster American submarine manufacturing. Marles met with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on the sidelines of a defense conference in Singapore less than two weeks ago, and told reporters afterward that he had come away with 'a sense of confidence about the way in which AUKUS is proceeding.' 'AUKUS is on track and we are meeting all the timelines that are associated with it,' he said. 'We are very optimistic.' Hegseth's address to the defense forum made multiple mentions of cooperation with Australia but no reference to AUKUS, however, though he did later mention the deal when he was taking questions. Hegseth did urge allies in the Indo-Pacific to increase their defense spending, and underscored the need for a 'strong, resolute and capable network of allies and partners' as the U.S. seeks to counter China.

Nuveen Australian Real Estate Debt Strategy Reaches A$650 Million with CPP Investments Commitment
SYDNEY, /CNW/ - Nuveen, one of the largest asset managers globally with over US$1.3 trillion AUM*, has reached second close of its commingled Australian commercial real estate debt strategy with commitments of over A$650 million. Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments), through its subsidiary CPPIB Credit Investments Inc., invested A$300 million, joining Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA) and Temasek as strategic partners of Nuveen for this strategy. Total AUM are expected to exceed A$1 billion including capital approved for co-investments. The strategy is already more than 40% deployed via committed loan investments focusing on institutional senior and junior loans secured by prime real estate in Australia. Preferred sectors for the strategy are industrial / logistics and residential, with a selective approach to retail, office and alternatives across major cities in Australia. The strategy leverages both Nuveen Real Estate's global debt platform, which currently has over 55 dedicated specialists, and the team of more than 60 at Nuveen Real Estate in Asia. The strategy is led by Dugald Marr, Nuveen's Head of Debt Australia and New Zealand, and the support of an experienced team with a long track record of originating and structuring high-quality loan investments in this market. Investments are also aligned to Nuveen Real Estate's comprehensive responsible investment processes and ESG factor analysis. This includes waste reduction and energy consumption, climate risk analysis and social aspects with the ability to structure Green Loans or Sustainable Linked Loans where applicable to incentivise ESG targets on behalf of clients. The investment comes at a time when Australian commercial real estate debt offers the potential for a compelling blend of stability, attractive yields, and strong collateral protection, all of which are increasingly important to investors concerned about global volatility. Australia's mature market, supported by robust economic foundations, strict regulatory requirements for banks and the need for more alternative capital sources provides a good foundation for long-term investment in this space. The strategy will continue to focus on repeat institutional borrowers, conservative lending parameters and prime assets in sectors that benefit most from Australia's high population growth and limited supply. Andrew Kleinig, Head of Australia and the Global Client Group for South East Asia at Nuveen, said: "This is another milestone for the strategy. With CPP Investments' commitment, we will continue our focus on strategic, in-depth partnerships with the highest calibre of investors. We are excited to work with a like-minded partner who also shares a high conviction on the asset class. CPP Investments has provided significant value-add as a strategic investor, ensuring long-term success and growth of the partnership. It showcases Nuveen's pedigree in real estate investment and our ability to bring regionally tailored solutions across both equity and debt platforms. We believe Nuveen's offering across real assets more broadly is well-positioned to help clients across Asia navigate volatility alongside managing their responsible investment goals." Raymond Chan, Managing Director & Head of APAC Credit at CPP Investments, said: "Australia is one of our key markets in Asia Pacific and this transaction marks an important milestone for our credit strategy in the region. The investment builds upon our extensive market research and insights from our successful investments in Australia. Leveraging Nuveen's strong local network and capabilities, this partnership enables us to tap into attractive real estate debt investments in Australia and further augment our credit program in the region. These opportunities offer stability and attractive yields amid global volatility, contributing to long-term returns for the CPP Fund." *Top 20 largest global asset manager based on Pensions & Investments, 12 Jun 2023.
