About Lunch Webinar Discussion ‘Direct Lending’

Lunch Webinar Discussion ‘Direct Lending’

How healthy is the direct lending market at the moment? Which segments of this market offer the most attractive investment opportunities? How do you assess whether you are being adequately compensated for illiquidity, complexity and credit risk?

What role can direct lending play within the portfolio? How does direct lending compare to alternative asset classes such as high yield? Where is the biggest mismatch between market perception and underlying fundamentals?

  • Clemens Braams, Lead Portfolio Manager, Illiquid Fixed Income, Achmea Investment Management
