REST announces new mandates

24 February 2009
| By Mike |

Big retail industry superannuation fund REST has announced a series of new mandates.

The fund said during the December quarter it had invested $150 million with Credit Suisse in its Syndicated Loan Fund and $100 million with Stone Tower in the fund manager's Offshore Credit Fund, while in February it had invested an additional $50 million with Stone Power.

REST chief executive Damian Hill said funding of the investments had come from REST's cash flow.

"These investments present the prospect for attractive equity-like returns for our members over a three to five-year timeframe," he said.

Hill said consistent with REST's philosophy, the investment was being undertaken as part of a diversified portfolio of exposures to the credit markets within the growth alternatives sector.
