We are at the threshold of a new era for investment opportunities in private debt

Current unfavourable macroeconomic conditions, the continued withdrawal of the banking sector, and the trend towards increased regulation should continue to favour private debt as an attractive credit source of choice, especially for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) that may suffer the most from these circumstances.

A Targeted Direct Lending Strategy aiming to having an impact on real economy

That’s why we manage a direct lending strategy that invests in the debt of European SMEs willing to improve their ESG¹ profiles. The SME segment in Italy, France, Spain, and Germany comprises over 13 million companies², allowing for both diversification and selectivity. The strategy favours senior secured and unitranche debt in particular, and aims to provide stable income³, regardless of the market environment.

Experienced team

The senior investment team’s sourcing capabilities are distinguished by their diverse experience across banking, private debt and equity, and their local, on-the-ground expertise, with Italian, French, German and Spanish nationalities.

Strategic Leverage from Group Generali

The strategy also benefits from the well-established brand and considerable history of Group Generali’s indirect private debt and private equity networks. This enables the team to engage with banks, private equity firms, and debt advisories in a comprehensive manner, facilitating a robust approach to identifying and securing direct private debt opportunities.
