ASR Private Debt Fund I

Private loans

In addition to investing in real estate and mortgages, a.s.r. invests for decades in private loans from (lower) governments and companies. These are illiquid investments. Loans that are not listed and therefore cannot simply be sold. The fund is actively managed. A benchmark is not used for this.

An attractive asset class

We consider private debt to be an attractive strategic investment category. This is because of its favorable correlation with traditional asset classes such as stocks, real estate, and bonds. The fund mainly focuses on the mid-market segment. Private loans to medium-sized companies offer an attractive absolute and relative return due to an illiquidity and complexity premium.

Sourcing partners and ESG criteria

This fund offers investors the opportunity to invest institutional assets in promising companies and projects. Loans are selected in collaboration with our banking partners and a.s.r.'s network of contacts. There are similar interests because a.s.r. invests in the fund and because our partners act as co-financiers. All investments are made within a.s.r. a comprehensive credit assessment and underwriting process. The ESG criteria of a.s.r. are part of the acceptance process and included in the investment policy of the fund. The fund promotes sustainability features by applying a sustainability policy in the acceptance process (more information about this can be found in the information memorandum, which is available on request).
