Private Debt
The Private Debt’s success is supported by a strong value proposal with portfolio diversification, reliable income streams, attractive risk-adjusted returns, and low volatility. Investors also appreciate the embedded option over traditional liquid credit – such as the ability to restructure pricing or terms, the floating rates, the ability to repossess hard assets if needs be, and the option to exit at par. Today, there is an abundant capital available on the private debt market that calls for stringent deal/asset selectivity, with a focus on safer strategies, more senior, more secured, and in asset-based financing. Diversification in geography and sector are necessary, together with investing at the top of the capital structure, where risk-adjusted returns are the most attractive.

How best to integrate ESG at the core of our investment processes?
![]()
|
ESG has been at the heart of our investment processes for corportate private debt funds since 2014. Integrating ESG into private debt is part of Amundi’s strategy to be a leading asset manager in responsible investing. Our corporate private debt team has two objectives, namely to reduce certain risk factors in our portfolios, and to support companies’ efforts to improve their ESG practices. But how are ESG criteria integrated within the investment and tracking processes? And how does this translate in to practical terms? Watch the video to find out more on how responsible investing is playing an increasingly important role in our corporate private debt team’s investment processes today. |
