Alternatives

Alternative assets offer many potential benefits including efficient diversification, higher returns, with potentially less risk, and in some cases, income generation.  

Over the years we have accumulated vast knowledge across this diverse asset class and can offer a number of listed equity and credit strategies as well as private market solutions. Our strategies ranges from more liquid assets, such as alternative credit, distressed debt and uncorrelated solutions, to longer lock-up, like SDG Farmland, European private equity and multi-asset impact strategies. 

This asset class is attracting increased attention from investors for a number of reasons.  As well as potential to benefit from exposure to durable macroeconomic trends (population growth, urbanisation, expansion of industrial and digital economies and the energy transition) they can offer intrinsic value due to their physical nature. 

Another important benefit is that real assets tend to have contractual agreements to claim operating or rental income and therefore provide a reliable stream of cash flows. These characteristics help to preserve their long-term value, especially during inflationary periods.
