[SINGAPORE] Azalea Asset Management, an indirect subsidiary of Temasek Holdings, will be launching a new series of bonds backed by 40 private equity (PE) funds.

The indicative total size of the new issuance, Astrea 9 Private Equity Bonds, is US$780 million. It is about 48 per cent of the underlying PE portfolio valued at US$1.63 billion as at end-December 2024.

The funds invested in 1,086 companies in industries ranging from information technology and industrials to healthcare, financials and consumer discretionary.

The coupon rates of the bonds will be announced later.

The issuance will have three classes of bonds: A-1, A-2 and B Payment-in-Kind (PIK). However, only Class A-1 and A-2 bonds will be made available to retail investors, according to a preliminary prospectus lodged on Tuesday (Jul 22) at the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Opera site.
