The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) has escalated its financial engagement with Cheyne Capital’s real estate private credit strategy. This latest infusion of capital increases ADIA’s total investment in the program to an impressive £650 million.

Cheyne Capital, headquartered in London, is renowned for its innovative approach to investment, specializing in senior debt and equity across a wide range of corporates and real estate ventures. This latest funding commitment from ADIA not only reinforces Cheyne’s standing in the market but also signifies a strong vote of confidence in the future of European real estate credit from one of the globe’s most influential investment entities.

The initiative, known as the capital solutions strategy, focuses on senior lending for real estate projects, signalling a strategic push to capitalise on the burgeoning demand for alternative forms of real estate financing. The strategy benefits from Cheyne Capital’s deep-rooted experience and knowledge of the European real estate lending sector, positioning itself as an attractive investment opportunity in a market increasingly dependent on private credit solutions.

Mohammed Al Qubaisi, Executive Director of ADIA’s real estate department, underscored the initiative’s potential, noting the strategy’s alignment with the market’s current needs for diverse credit options. This move comes as ADIA, one of the world’s leading sovereign wealth funds with assets worth approximately £726 billion, continues to diversify its global investment portfolio.
