Most leveraged loans are secured loans issued to mid- to large-sized companies to support acquisitions and Leveraged Buy-Out (LBO) transactions.

Investing in leveraged loans enables clients to gain exposure to high-yield private corporates. They typically benefit from floating interest rates, and can help monitor risks, including seniority and loan covenants that impose specific conditions on the borrower.

Our strategy

The Leveraged Loans team has a track record of transactions spanning over 15 years. Our portfolio managers and sector analysts bring a wealth of experience from complementary sectors, including private equity, rating agencies, banking and asset management.

We have strong sourcing capabilities, thanks to our local presence and the relationships we have built in European and US markets. We are recognized for our expertise in credit analysis and portfolio construction, enabling clients to take advantage of the structural premium of secured finance assets and diversify their investments.

Our ESG approach

Our advanced framework for private debt and alternative credit ensures that ESG is integrated at every stage of the investment process.

Investable universe

We define the investable universe by limiting investments exposed to specific ESG risks. Our exclusion policies focus on climate, biodiversity and human rights.

ESG integration

Adopting a bottom-up approach ensures that ESG factors are integrated into investment decisions. We carry out ESG assessments,consider carbon emissions and labels, and evaluate alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
