The Rixon Income Fund invests in first ranking senior secured, asset-backed loans to Australian SMEs. The Fund is an income-only strategy and makes monthly distributions to investors. The investment process has three key hurdles: First, the Investment team undertake due diligence on qualifying loans. Second, the Investment Team then prepares and presents a comprehensive Credit Paper to the Investment Committee, which is comprised of Rixon Capital executives, one shareholder-director, and two independents. Finally, should unanimous approval be received, the Investment Team will progress to documentation and loan settlement.
