Tahan Capital is a boutique credit-focused alternative investment manager based in Singapore. We seek to deliver consistent, long-term superior returns sustained by capital appreciation and income, with a focus on downside mitigation throughout economic and credit cycles.

Our Chinese name, 大汉, references the Han Dynasty, which was one of the most prosperous and influential periods in Chinese history symbolising strength, stability and enduring achievement.

In Malay, Tahan means ‘to persevere’. Gunung Tahan, the highest peak in Peninsular Malaysia, is known for its arduous yet profoundingly rewarding ascent.

The name Tahan reflects our belief that achieving sustained long-term success across multiple economic cycles requires similar qualities of perseverance, discipline, and resilience.

This is the spirit behind Tahan Capital.

INTEGRITY

Integrity is the foundation of trust. We act with transparency, accountability and a clear commitment to our investors’ best interests, ensuring full alignment in every decision we make.

RESILIENCE

We believe resilience is proven not in calm markets, but through periods of uncertainty and stress. Founded since 2009, Tahan Capital has been tested across multiple economic and credit cycles.

EXCELLENCE

Excellence is a daily discipline. From deeper due diligence and tighter structuring to active monitoring and rigorous risk management, we stay fully committed to the work behind every investment.

STRATEGIES

Two pillars. One philosophy.

We invest across the credit spectrum, from liquid public credit to private bilateral/direct lending – always prioritising capital preservation, income generation, and downside protection.

Liquid Public Credit

Income-compounding strategies focused on capturing stable income and capital appreciation through active selection and management of high-quality liquid credits with managed volatility.

Tahan development programme

Most participants find our development programme challenging - one intensive week covering basic accounting, financial analysis & modelling, credit analysis & structuring, plus overviews on legal documentation and hybrid capital. For the finale, we break up the participants into groups to work on different case studies, which are then presented to our investment team. Admittedly, it is a lot of information to assimilate and apply onto a case study in one week. It requires gen

Private credit's growth in the US

Private credit's growth in the US has been closely tied to private equity buyouts, where sponsors often backed asset-light, high-growth technology companies. Over time, this has created meaningful sector concentration in software and tech across many private credit portfolios, where exposure to the software sector is estimated to be approximately 20-35%.
