The fund is diversified across geographies, strategies and asset classes and provides access to selected best-in-class strategies, yielding high and stable returns with low correlation to credit spreads.
Our approach
Liquid Alternative Credit comprises private credit strategies which are niche in nature and command a complexity premium. The space is fragmented into multiple small, capacity constrained managers and comprises a number of sub-strategies, such as trade finance, specialty lending and SME lending. Combining these sub-strategies strongly improves risk-return as they are generally uncorrelated to each other. Underlying instruments are typically unlisted and short-dated, with maturities ranging from 30 days up to 18 months. The fund seeks to provide investors access to a diversified portfolio of such niche strategies and managers, offering quarterly liquidity while yielding stable returns of ca 7-9%, with a low beta to traditional credit markets.
