01:00:06 --> 01:00:10
In a world that is rapidly shifting, one question matters more than ever.

01:00:11 --> 01:00:14
Who will finance the transitions at the moment it truly counts?

01:00:14 --> 01:00:21
That is where Private Debt comes in and it is an important part of our Alternative Investment Solutions platform

01:00:21 --> 01:00:26
where we help fiduciary clients access specialist opportunities beyond traditional markets.

01:00:26 --> 01:00:32
At its core, Private Debt offers investors stable expected income streams, diversification,

01:00:32 --> 01:00:38
and the ability to support projects and businesses that sits just beyond the reach of traditional fixed income.

01:00:39 --> 01:00:42
Because there is a clear and growing need for financing,

01:00:42 --> 01:00:45
Private Debt is not only essential for the real economy,

01:00:45 --> 01:00:49
it is also a compelling investment opportunity from a financial perspective.

01:00:50 --> 01:00:55
One area where this becomes particularly visible is the energy transition.

01:00:55 --> 01:01:00
Throughout Europe, demand for capital is high, while traditional lenders often move slowly

01:01:00 --> 01:01:03
or focus only on the large and operational assets.

01:01:03 --> 01:01:09
This leaves a meaningful financing gap for small and medium-sized renewable energy projects,

01:01:09 --> 01:01:14
especially during the construction - the moment when capital can truly accelerate progress.

01:01:15 --> 01:01:17
Private Debt allows us to step into this gap.

01:01:18 --> 01:01:22
Together with our investors and specialist external managers we select,

01:01:22 --> 01:01:28
we provide flexible, tailored financing at exactly the stage it has the greatest impact:

01:01:28 --> 01:01:32
turning renewable energy plans into real functioning assets.

01:01:33 --> 01:01:40
This enables new solar farms, wind projects and other clean energy infrastructure to be built,

01:01:40 --> 01:01:44
projects that might otherwise struggle to secure timely financing.

01:01:45 --> 01:01:50
The result is a strong pipeline of attractive, risk-adjusted opportunities,

01:01:50 --> 01:01:54
combined with high-quality measurable climate impact close to home.

01:01:54 --> 01:01:56
And that brings me to our approach.

01:01:56 --> 01:01:59
We do not invest directly in Private Debt ourselves.

01:01:59 --> 01:02:04
Instead, as asset class specialists, we know this market in depth

01:02:04 --> 01:02:09
and select the very best external managers for the specific goals of our clients,

01:02:10 --> 01:02:14
and it allows us to find the most suitable specialist for every mandate.

01:02:14 --> 01:02:18
This example shows how Private Debt can be a powerful tool

01:02:18 --> 01:02:22
for clients seeking both expected financial value and impact.

01:02:22 --> 01:02:29
It not only supports the transition - it helps accelerate it, responsibly and with meaningful additionality.
