N1 Holdings Doubles Its Credit Fund to $100M Lifting Total Lending Power to $400M
N1 Holdings doubles OACF to $100 million, lifting total lending capacity to $400 million
N1 Holdings (ASX: N1H) has raised a further $50 million for its One Alternative Credit Fund (OACF), doubling the fund to $100 million and lifting the group’s total private credit lending capacity to approximately $400 million.
The second raise follows the full deployment of the OACF’s initial $50 million capital, which was raised at launch in November 2025 and fully deployed by March 2026. The rapid four-month deployment cycle signals strong borrower demand and underpins the decision to proceed with a further raise.
Ren Hor Wong, Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer, N1 Holdings
“We are excited to continue raising capital and expanding our platform. This enables us to support larger loan sizes across residential, commercial and industrial property sectors. Our focus on income-generating assets provides strong downside protection in an evolving lending landscape and interest rate environment.
N1 Holdings Limited’s strategy is to continue raising capital, manage and deploy it prudently, and streamline operations through the use of technology and AI, positioning the Group to respond to evolving market conditions.”

Understanding N1 Holdings’ private credit platform
What makes up the $400 million lending capacity?
Private credit refers to loans originated outside the traditional banking system, typically offered by non-bank lenders to borrowers who may require more flexible or specialised financing. In Australia’s growing non-bank lending environment, this asset class has attracted increasing interest from institutional and sophisticated investors seeking yield.
N1H’s $400 million lending capacity is drawn from three sources:
- Balance sheet capital held directly by the group
- Managed funds: the One Lending Fund (OLF) and the One Alternative Credit Fund (OACF)
- Debt and warehouse facilities
Both the OLF and OACF are managed by N1 Asset Management, a 100% owned subsidiary of the company holding its own Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL). The OACF was specifically established to support larger-scale private lending opportunities, with a stated focus on income-generating properties. Management has noted this focus is intended to provide downside protection in an evolving interest rate environment.
| Fund Name | Launch Date | Current Size | Focus | Manager |

| One Alternative Credit Fund (OACF) | November 2025 | $100 million | Larger-scale private lending; income-generating properties | N1 Asset Management |

What this milestone means for N1H investors
The full deployment of the initial OACF capital within approximately four months of launch offers a tangible indication of borrower demand and the group’s capacity to execute at scale. For investors, it provides early validation that the fund structure can absorb and deploy capital efficiently.
Management has outlined three strategic priorities guiding the platform’s next phase:
- Continue raising capital to expand the funding base
- Prudent deployment and management of capital across loan portfolios
- Streamlining operations through the use of technology and AI
With N1H’s $400 million platform now in place, the group is positioned to pursue larger loan sizes across residential, commercial, and industrial property sectors. Its target client base spans high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), family offices, institutions, and SME property investors, segments that management believes are underserved by traditional bank lenders in the current environment.
