Focus on Alternative
Investment Return
Investors’ motives for allocating to private markets remain the same, more or less: the potential for alpha, and for consistency at scale.

Clear Trend, but
Overall there is a clear trend towards increasing allocations to Private Markets, but still limited knowledge and understanding about which products, why and how investors need to choose.
Alternative Fixed Income offers investors a variety of opportunities for earning income and provides them with the benefits of portfolio diversification. It is an emerging asset class that was formerly dominated by the banking sector. Clearly, navigating and comparing the benefits of individual products remains challenging.
Different Drivers
The alternative credit market is dynamic, complex and evolving, with many different types of loans.
Each asset class:
- Leveraged loans
- Direct Lending/Private Debt
- CRE loans
- Consumer lending
- Infrastructure debt
- EM Loans.....
has its own drivers and specific way to gain successful market access. In banks and asset managers these asset classes have their own ecosystems. Consequently, it is difficult for any outsiders to compare the different value propositions. There is a lot of confusion, even among experienced professionals, about the terminology used.
Further, the lending opportunity is no longer homogeneous and its an arduous task to measure value in a fast changing environment, assess to what extent historical investment assumptions are relevant and measure, ensure sufficient alignment of interest between asset managers/banks and investors, GPs and LPs.
