Rixon Capital

Rixon Capital is an award-winning boutique private credit manager based in Sydney, Australia, specialising in providing tailored, non-dilutive debt solutions to the underserved Australian and New Zealand small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) and emerging corporate sector. Established in 2022 by a seasoned investment team, including co-founders Patrick William, Shrikaanth Balasubramaniam, Luke Howes, Dallin Howes, and Blair Murphy, the firm brings institutional-grade underwriting expertise to a market segment often overlooked by traditional banks and larger private credit funds. Patrick William, the Co-founder and Managing Director, has a distinguished background in high-yield private debt, private equity, and corporate & investment banking, having executed over $500 million in SME private credit lends and $10 billion in M&A transactions prior to Rixon Capital's inception.

The company’s core philosophy revolves around capital preservation for its wholesale investors, achieved through a diversified portfolio of structured, secured loans. Rixon Capital manages two primary private credit strategies: the Rixon Income Fund, which focuses on senior secured, asset-backed lending, and the Rixon Credit Opportunities Fund, designed for more bespoke situations including those with strong cash flow or second-ranking asset security. A key differentiator for Rixon Capital is its explicit prohibition against seeking founder equity in the form of options or warrants, ensuring that borrowers retain full ownership and control while accessing vital growth capital.

Rixon Capital prides itself on transparency, industry best practices, and alignment with investor interests, being compliant with ASIC’s “Good Practices” for private credit in Australia. The firm targets the 'underbanked' niche, offering loan facilities typically ranging from $1 million to $20 million, though larger facilities up to $40 million are available with funding partners for qualifying borrowers. This focus allows Rixon Capital to secure attractive risk-adjusted returns for investors, as evidenced by the Rixon Income Fund's consistent monthly cash distributions and absence of negative returns since its November 2022 inception. The investment team's ability to offer swift approvals, typically within three to six weeks, further distinguishes their service offering, providing agile funding solutions for growth, working capital, asset finance, acquisitions, and refinancing needs across a sector-agnostic mandate.
