Contango Asset Management Limited (Contango or the Company) announced that it has entered into a distribution arrangement with Woodbridge Capital Pty Ltd. (Woodbridge), a new Australian domiciled private credit investment manager. The partnership involves distributing Woodbridge strategies to wholesale and institutional clients and launching a wholesale managed fund. The Woodbridge Private Credit Fund (the Fund) will provide investors with exposure to a portfolio of secured, first mortgage real estate loans across Commercial Real Estate (CRE), Build to Rent (BTR) and Agriculture - with an ESG integrated investment process and philosophy.

The Fund is expected to launch in May 2022. The Board believes the partnership with Woodbridge will enable the Company to leverage its investor platform to grow funds under management by accessing a private market strategy with significant investor interest and market tailwinds.
