Natixis CIB Closes USD120mn Hybrid Facility for R-Bridge Healthcare Fund
Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking recently closed a USD 120 million hybrid facility for R-Bridge Healthcare Fund, LP.
R-Bridge Healthcare Fund, LP (“RBF”) is managed by CBC Group, a healthcare-dedicated asset management firm headquartered in Singapore. RBF provides leading biotech, biopharma, medical technology, and healthcare services companies with bespoke, non-dilutive financing, backed by Asia-sourced healthcare royalty / revenue interests, or through a range of alternative financing structures.
The closing of this hybrid facility follows the repayment in full of the previous vanilla subscription facility. With a hybrid structure, the newly closed facility relies on both recallable and uncalled capital from investors of RBF and the performance of the investments made by RBF.

Natixis CIB is focused on providing innovative and bespoke solutions for our clients.
