ASIC’s push to investigate regulation of private credit funds isn’t slowing down Andrew Lockhart’s Metrics Credit Partners, which has kicked off a $300 million raise for a new closed-end fund to add to its $19 billion empire.

Street Talk can reveal Metrics had its broker syndicate on Monday mail out terms for a new listed investment trust dubbed the Metrics Real Estate Multi-Strategy Fund, pitching a return target of 10 per cent to 12 per cent a year on a pre-tax basis and net of fees. Potential investors have been told to expect cash distributions of about 5.6 per cent, paid monthly.
