Investment thesis

Kilde is a MAS-licensed platform bridging sophisticated private investors and private credit markets. It targets a perceived gap where established companies in emerging markets need flexible growth capital while investors seek yields decoupled from stock market volatility. Kilde allocates over $100M annually to curated borrowers in the consumer and MSME lending sectors, structuring deals as senior secured positions with priority repayment and typical collateral coverage of 1.6x. By removing traditional intermediaries and operating within Singapore's regulatory framework, it aims to offer accredited investors institutional-grade access, transparency, and risk-adjusted returns, along with monthly coupon payments and early redemption flexibility.
