As Series II of the ₦20bn Naira Private Debt Fund is raised, TLG Capital and FCMB Asset Management are strengthening their Lagos-based private markets team.
TLG Capital, in partnership with FCMB Asset Management Limited, is expanding its Naira-denominated private debt platform as it raises Series II of its ₦20 billion fund — one of the most significant private credit vehicles in Nigeria’s domestic capital markets.
The fund is positioned at the forefront of Nigeria’s growing alternatives ecosystem, deploying long-term institutional capital into the real economy through structured private debt investments.
As part of this expansion, the firm is hiring for two strategic roles in Lagos:
🔹 Vice President, Sales – Alternative Assets (Private Markets)
🔹 Senior Credit Analyst – Private Markets
This recruitment comes at a time when private credit is emerging as one of the fastest-growing asset classes globally — and increasingly relevant in Nigeria amid tighter bank lending conditions and rising demand for structured capital solutions.
About the Fund
The TLG Capital & FCMB Asset Management Naira Private Debt Fund focuses on delivering risk-adjusted returns through disciplined credit underwriting and structured financing for Nigerian corporates.
With Series II targeting ₦20bn, the fund seeks to:
Deepen Nigeria’s domestic alternatives market
Provide institutional investors access to structured private credit
Channel long-term capital into productive sectors of the economy
Build a scalable private markets platform in Nigeria
Private debt is increasingly seen as a critical bridge between traditional bank lending and public capital markets — offering flexible capital to mid-sized businesses while delivering yield opportunities to pension funds, insurance firms, and other institutional investors.
Role 1: Vice President, Sales – Alternative Assets (Private Markets)
Location: Lagos
The VP, Sales will lead capital raising efforts and investor engagement across Nigeria’s institutional landscape.
Key Responsibilities:
Drive fundraising for Series II and subsequent fund vehicles
Build and manage relationships with pension funds, asset allocators, and family offices
Develop marketing and investor materials for private credit products
Position the fund within Nigeria’s growing alternatives allocation framework
Collaborate with investment teams to align investor strategy with pipeline development
This role requires deep familiarity with Nigeria’s capital markets and a strong understanding of alternative asset fundraising dynamics.
Role 2: Senior Credit Analyst – Private Markets
Location: Lagos
The Senior Credit Analyst will play a central role in underwriting and monitoring private credit transactions.
Key Responsibilities:
Conduct detailed financial analysis and credit assessments
Structure private debt transactions
Evaluate sector and counterparty risks
Monitor portfolio performance and covenant compliance
Prepare investment memoranda and committee documentation
This position is ideal for experienced professionals in corporate banking, structured finance, credit risk, or private equity who are looking to transition into a high-growth alternatives platform.
Why This Matters for Nigeria’s Capital Markets
Nigeria’s alternatives market remains underdeveloped relative to global peers, with private credit still emerging as a formal asset class.
As bank balance sheets face regulatory and liquidity constraints, private debt platforms are increasingly positioned to:
Provide non-dilutive capital to growth companies
Deliver enhanced yield to institutional investors
Deepen domestic capital formation
Reduce overreliance on foreign-currency borrowing
The expansion of this ₦20bn vehicle signals growing investor confidence in structured naira-denominated credit strategies.
