Woodbridge Welcomes The Report Issued by ASIC on Australia’s Private Credit Industry

Statement issued on 5th November 2025.

We’re encouraged to see that many of the recommendations we made to ASIC in March 2025 have now been raised – particularly around independent governance, valuation oversight, fee disclosure, and consistent fund reporting. This recognition reflects a broader shift in our industry towards greater accountability and transparency, and we’re proud to have contributed to that conversation early.

ASIC’s report represents a good starting point, but there is still important work ahead.

True transparency in private credit requires not just better disclosure, but a cultural shift – one where investors clearly understand how funds are structured, how risk is priced, and how returns are generated. Regulators, fund managers, research houses and trustees all have a role to play in setting those standards and bringing confidence in an asset class that continues to grow rapidly in size and influence.

At Woodbridge, we remain committed to leading by example. Our philosophy is simple. Institutional discipline, external oversight, and transparency in everything we do.

As ASIC’s report highlights, trust and transparency aren’t just regulatory expectations – they’re the foundation of a sustainable market.
