    Lincoln Bain Capital Total Credit Fund

    A private credit fund focused on core middle market businesses, offered in a perpetual, interval fund structure — providing investors access to a dynamic strategy that allocates across direct lending, asset-based finance, opportunistic credit and liquid credit as market conditions evolve, with the goal of maximizing potential returns and managing risk.

  • Private credit investments can potentially benefit a portfolio in four distinct ways:

     

    • Potentially higher returns — Private credit can often pay more than regular bonds or government securities because you’re being compensated for less liquidity

     

    • Protection against interest rate fluctuations — Many private credit investments have floating interest rates, meaning returns can go up when interest rates rise. This is different from traditional asset classes, which typically lose value when rates increase

     

    • Diversification beyond public markets — Private credit simply gives you more access to the investments universe. You can invest in unique business loans, asset-backed securities or specialized lending opportunities — helping spread out risk

     

    • Possible downside protection — Many private loans are secured by real assets (like equipment, real estate, or inventory). If a borrower can’t pay back the loan, these assets can help recover your investment — something you don’t get with many other investment types

  • Investing in royalties taps into the fundamental and consistent ways in which Americans consume resources. Some of the key advantages of royalties include:

     

    • Attractive market opportunity — Royalties are a growing asset class with an estimated $2 trillion market size1

     

    • Low correlation — Can help to stabilize and diversify traditional asset class portfolios

     

    • Recurring income — Regular stream of royalty payments with the potential to mitigate risk and hedge against inflation

     

    Partners Group has a differentiated, dedicated royalties team with the expertise and mandate to invest across the royalties universe, including pharmaceuticals, music, media, sports/brands and energy transition.

Investing in private market funds involves risks, including the risk that an investor may receive little or no return on their investment or that an investor may lose part or all of their investment. Material risks associated with investing in private market funds include, but are not limited to, risks related to: limited liquidity, which will limit investors’ ability to sell all of their shares when desired, or at all; changes in interest rates; the credit risk of the counterparties with which the funds’ deal; the valuation of the funds’ investments; the use of leverage, which magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested; the specific investments and strategies the funds’ pursue, including unique risks applicable to complex investment strategies, collateralized loan obligations and other derivatives investments, and investments in distressed companies, real assets, real estate, royalties, non-U.S. securities, senior secured loans, and below investment grade instruments (also known as “high-yield” securities or “junk bonds”); concentration of investments in particular industries or sectors; the lack of public information about the private investments held by the funds; the lack of liquidity or a trading market for the funds’ private investments, which may impede the funds’ investment adviser from buying or selling securities at opportune times or at favorable prices; and general market, economic, and political conditions. Accordingly, private market funds should be considered speculative investments that entail substantial risks, and investors should invest in private market funds only if they can sustain a complete loss of their investment. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
