DUBAI, UAE and PHOENIX, Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Global Investment firm, Lakemore Partners Ltd. (“Lakemore”), a leading private credit investment firm primarily investing in supermajority control collateralized loan obligation (CLO) equity, announced the final close of its Aquatine V Fund at US$560 million. The Aquatine V raise exceeds the US$400 million Aquatine IV Fund by 40%. The fund attracted strong, global institutional investor demand from both new and repeat investors in the MENA region and across the US, representing a diverse range of private banks, fund of funds, insurance companies, family offices and high net worth individuals.
Commenting on Lakemore’s raise, Ahmed Farid, Chairman & CEO of Lakemore, said: “Our Aquatine V fundraising success reaffirms the trust investors place in our strategy and team, and solidifies our status as a leader in supermajority CLO equity investments.

Aquatine V is Lakemore’s fifth Aquatine platform fund which invests in supermajority control equity positions of US CLOs. At full deployment, the fund expects to have approximately 15 supermajority CLO equity positions.
The Fund has capitalized on investment opportunities provided by market volatility during which it deployed a substantial portion of its capital. It has delivered strong performance to date and will continue to deploy capital as markets evolve. Lakemore has expanded its network of top tier, US CLO collateral manager strategic partnerships in 2024, and currently has seven strategic partners.

- Proven SAP Expertise: With extensive global experience in projects involving SAP S/4HANA, our team ensures a seamless, efficient transition, reducing risks and accelerating time to value.
- Fast, Risk-Free Transition: Our Technical Conversion Centre of Excellence for SAP S/4HANA streamlines the migration process, providing a rapid, low-risk pathway to RISE with SAP.
- Focus on Strategic Business Value: Businesses invest saved migration costs into initiatives that align with their highest priorities – from Artificial Intelligence and GenAI, to automation, organisational change management, testing, analytics and more.
“We are excited to redefine what a migration can mean for businesses,” states Christopher Gabriel, Chief Marketing Officer and VP of Innovation, NTT DATA Business Solutions. “With a ZERO Cost Move to RISE with SAP, we remove consulting fees for your technical migration, breaking down barriers to transformation and enabling valuable resources to be redirected toward game-changing digital innovation.”
