Ninety One Expands EM Private Credit Team Amid US Market Strains

Ninety One Plc is planning to hire three new people for its emerging-markets private credit team this year, as it prepares to launch a new fund and meet growing investor demand for the asset class.

The hires include a Singapore-based investment specialist covering Asia, a similar post in London covering central Europe, Middle East and Africa and a legal role, according to Alper Kilic, head of alternative credit, who joined Ninety One in January last year from Standard Chartered Bank. He now oversees a team of about 40.
