Investments in the private debt market usually offer the opportunity to generate higher yields due to the premium for low liquidity and the flexibility and speed in obtaining financing.
Strong creditor protection
Individualised approach to collateral and financial and non-financial covenants to ensure that investors are adequately protected from credit risk.
Active monitoring of the repayment of the financing throughout its term
Full control and communication with the financed entity enabling a quick response to potential repayment problems.
