Capital Financing Services
Performance within the Capital Financing Services business continued to be strong, generating a 10% annualized return with $854 million deployed across asset classes in the last ninemonths. This was primarily driven by $482 million in Real Assets, deployed in the Diversified Data Center Portfolio, Baltimore & Minneapolis Industrial Portfolio, US Student Housing IV Portfolio and US Student Housing V Portfolio. $271million was deployed in Corporate Investments, including Miebach in Germany, PKF O'Connor Davies in the US and Epipoli in Italy. A further $101 million in Global Credit was deployed across various CLOs.
Offsetting this, the Company benefited from continued solidsyndication activity from the broader Investcorp group, with $718 million of total syndication, the majority of which came from Real Assets, amounting to $465 million. Corporate Investments syndication stood at $211 million, Global Credit was $41 million, and Strategic Capital was $1 million.
Outlook
The Company has made good progress fiscal year to date with continued profitability and growth on a quarter-on-quarter basis. Looking forward to the remainder of fiscal year 2025 and into 2026, the Company will continue to capitalize on the activity of 2025, looking for attractive exit and investment opportunities in line with its stated long-term objective of delivering attractive long-term returns on invested capital.
