AGF Investments Inc. (AGF) in partnership with SAF Group (SAF) are

investment solutions for multi-channel distribution in Canada.
Building on AGF’s commitment to growth in private alternatives,
the initial offerings target Canadian retail and institutional

“Private credit is one of the fastest growing categories of
alternative investments and demand continues to grow as
investors seek reliable streams of income, diversification and
attractive returns,” said Judy Goldring, President and Head of
Global Distribution, AGF Management Limited. “With these products
now available for investment, we are excited to expand our
footprint with SAF further, while growing our alternatives
business.”
- AGF SAF Private Credit Limited Partnership,
available to accredited investors, seeks to achieve attractive
risk-adjusted returns with low correlation to traditional asset
classes by constructing and maintaining a portfolio of private and
public income generating credit securities. The Limited Partnership
will allocate capital through various credit strategies to a
diverse set of middle and lower-middle market companies, primarily
within Canada and the United States, to construct a portfolio of
private and public income generating private debt instruments.

retail accredited investors and eligible investors, provides access

access to the benefits of private credit investing including the
potential for enhanced returns and regular distributions alongside
investments that include a combination of ETFs and mutual funds
(including AGF Funds) with varying income characteristics selected
to enhance liquidity.
“We believe alternatives are fundamental building blocks for a
well-constructed portfolio. In an increasingly complex market
environment, we are aiming to provide a broad range of investors
access to private alternatives that can deliver the income,
diversification and liquidity investors are seeking,” added
Goldring.
The new offerings also provide investors with access to the
expertise of SAF Group – one of Canada’s leading alternative
