Private debt capabilities sit within Generali Asset Management. With a long track record of managing private debt portfolios for Generali Group, their private debt strategies aim to help investors achieve their investment goals while contributing to the real economy.

We are at the threshold of a new era for investment opportunities in private debt. Current unfavourable macroeconomic conditions, the continued deterioration 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 SMEs that may suffer the most from these circumstances.

Investing in the real economy in Europe

Generali Asset Management offers long-term direct and indirect private debt strategies. For example, their direct corporate lending strategy takes a buy and hold approach to support the expansion of European SMEs willing to improve their ESG profiles. Meanwhile, their fund-of-funds range targets best-in class private debt global asset managers and diversified strategies.

Sustainability is integral to the private debt offering at Generali Asset Management, and ESG is embedded throughout the investment lifecycle. In particular, they are committed to supporting the real economy and private SMEs in Europe. SMEs are the backbone of the European economy, representing 99% of all businesses and accounting for more than half of Europe’s GDP.

The fast-growing investment team includes experienced corporate finance professionals supported by talented young resources, and benefits from strong sourcing and due diligence capabilities, and Generali Group’s long-term relationships with external firms. The team are defined by our solutions-driven culture within a robust and established global firm that has a strong reputation as a long-term financing partner.
