Natixis Seeks Partners for $1.5 Billion Private Credit Fund
France's Natixis SA is in talks to set up a direct lending fund of around $1.5 billion, which would allow it to buy into the asset class, according to people familiar with the matter.
The French institution would manage the fund, aimed at opportunities such as direct loans to highly leveraged companies, allowing it to extend credit beyond its own balance sheet, according to people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to speak publicly. The fundraising effort is expected to wrap up in the coming months, they added.
