Moomoo Singapore has announced a strategic partnership with global investment firm Barings to provide accredited investors in Singapore with access to institutional-grade private credit investments. This collaboration aims to democratise access to an asset class traditionally reserved for institutions and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, offering lower minimum investment thresholds and investor liquidity through the moomoo app.
The partnership marks Barings’ first collaboration with a digital investment platform in the region. Barings, a subsidiary of MassMutual, manages over $442 billion in assets and has over 30 years of experience in private credit markets. The firm’s private credit strategies are known for disciplined risk management and consistent yield generation.
Private credit investments, which involve direct lending to businesses, offer higher yields with lower market volatility compared to traditional public debt. According to PitchBook, private credit funds have delivered an average annual return of 8–10% over the past decade. The global private credit market is projected to nearly double to $2.8 trillion by 2028, according to Preqin and the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Ryan Wu, Head of Private Wealth and Institutional Business at Moomoo Private Wealth, stated, “We’re proud to partner with Barings to bridge the gap between institutional-grade private credit opportunities and accredited investors on our platform.” Lydia Wu, Head of Distribution for Greater China and Southeast Asia at Barings, added, “Private credit is an asset class that has a long runway for growth and presents opportunities for investors seeking alternative sources of return.”
