Software for private credit funds in New Zealand
One platform for originations pipeline, credit diligence, covenant tracking, portfolio surveillance and LP reporting, priced in NZD.
Reuben AI is used by private credit teams across multiple jurisdictions. This page summarises how the platform fits the regulatory and structural context that private credit teams in New Zealand typically operate in.
A private credit manager originates loans, monitors covenants and services cash flows on a schedule. The operating problem is that credit is a continuous obligation rather than an episodic one: interest, amortisation and covenant tests fall due whether or not anyone is watching.
Regulatory context in New Zealand
The primary financial services regulator is FMA (Financial Markets Authority).
New Zealand private funds are typically NZ Limited Partnerships under the Limited Partnerships Act 2008, or Managed Investment Schemes (including KiwiSaver and wholesale funds) licensed by the FMA under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

Reuben AI is structure-agnostic. It stores investment, LP and portfolio data in a shared model that maps cleanly onto each of the vehicle wrappers above. It is not a legal, tax or regulatory advice tool. Fund formation and structure decisions should be taken with qualified local counsel.

How private credit teams in New Zealand actually operate
Credit portfolios fail operationally before they fail economically. A missed covenant test, an unmodelled amendment or a payment applied to the wrong tranche are administrative errors with direct economic consequences, and they are the errors most likely to occur in a spreadsheet-run book as the number of positions grows.
Reuben AI holds the credit agreement terms as structured data, so schedules, tests and cash application are computed from the executed documents. Amendments, waivers and restructurings update the terms rather than being noted alongside them, which keeps the servicing record and the legal record in agreement.
The recurring work Reuben AI carries
Origination and credit assessment
Borrower, structure and security assessed against a consistent rubric with the analysis retained.
Covenant monitoring
Financial and information covenants tested on their contractual dates, with breaches surfaced when they occur.
Cash flow servicing
Interest, fees and amortisation calculated from the executed terms and reconciled to receipts.
Amendments and workouts
Waivers, resets and restructurings applied to the terms so downstream schedules recompute.
Local structuring, tax and regulatory advice remains with the fund's counsel and administrator. Reuben AI is software and is not registered with FMA (Financial Markets Authority).
Common questions
How are covenant tests handled?
Tests are held with their contractual dates and thresholds, evaluated when reporting is received, and surfaced as breaches rather than discovered during a periodic review.
Can amended facilities be modelled?
Yes. An amendment updates the structured terms, and every downstream schedule and test recomputes from the amended position.
Does it cover both direct lending and fund-level credit?
Yes. Loan-level servicing and fund-level reporting run on the same record, so borrower activity flows through to investor reporting without a second set of books.
