Private debt is now recognized as an important component in investor portfolios, providing an appealing alternative to more traditional fixed income products. While this trend has been many years in the making, a combination of factors is creating additional tailwinds for the asset class. In an environment of higher interest rates, the floating rate nature of direct lending is offering investors the potential for attractive double-digit returns and protection against inflation. At the same time, direct lending continues to gain market share, bolstered by the continued retreat from banks, as well as a slowdown in activity from underwriting banks in the broadly syndicated loan market.

Given these attractive features and the continued growth of the European direct lending space, how can investors make the most of the opportunities the market has to offer? In this article, our private debt team presents Partners Group’s views:

Partners Group has acquired a strategic minority stake in Citivale, a UK real estate developer and asset manager specializing in logistics and light industrial assets. Citivale currently manages in excess of 5 million sq ft of floor area across multiple assets in the UK. Partners Group's investment will further strengthen our existing Greenbox UK logistics joint venture with Citivale (shown below). 

Partners Group invested in Citivale as part of our new strategy to acquire stakes in real estate operating companies and management teams in order to gain exposure to the full value chain across the asset lifecycle. 

Stephen McCall, Global Head of Platforms & OpCos, said: "The real estate investment landscape is undergoing a period of significant change. At Partners Group, we are adopting an entrepreneurial mindset to increase the operational intensity of real estate and build a more integrated relationship with our operating partners and platforms in high conviction sectors."

“When we acquire a company, we focus on building a board of directors who are eager to work with the executive team to co-create the company’s new strategy,” our CEO Dave Layton told Harvard Business Review for a new case study on what the boards of public companies can learn from private equity. 
 
Whilst public company boards often look similar to what they did 50 years ago, private equity firms create a governance structure at portfolio companies that is far more hands-on and entrepreneurial. The case study explains how private equity firms recognize the value of a more collaborative model in which directors can work closely with management to drive transformation and results.

Please see below (free to read) to hear about the six guiding principles that the boards of private equity-backed companies follow, with input from board members and CEOs at several current and former Partners Group portfolio companies.

Partners Group, on behalf of its clients, has formed a new pan-European joint venture to develop and operate next generation purpose-built student accommodation assets. The JV, which aims to become a market leader with over 5,000 beds, will be seeded with two projects: Camplus Ivry, a 448-bed scheme at Ivry-Sur-Seine, Paris and Camplus 22@, a 250-bed development site in the technology district of Barcelona.

The JV marks a significant milestone for Partners Group as we continue to build our presence in the student housing sector. This latest JV represents Partners Group's first platform expansion into continental Europe following our partnership with Host in the UK.

Alice Saini, Member of Management, and Anne-Jan Jager, Co-Head Private Real Estate Europe, Partners Group, said: “The launch of this student housing platform in continental Europe is evidence of our thematic work in action. We have strong conviction in the European student housing sector, particularly given the current undersupply of new purpose-built, amenitised student housing in key university cities. We look forward to working with our experienced local partners on building a portfolio of high-quality and sustainable student communities."

The US leveraged loans market ended the year with a frenetic last quarter in which continued sluggish new-issue loan volumes led to an extended secondary loan rally. 

Institutional and retail investors – regardless of whether they were shifting strategy back to “risk-on” or just seeking to redeploy cash – were quickly drawn to most loan offerings. In Europe, loan issuers seeing steady investor demand used the opportunity to amend and extend, refinance and issue incremental loans, while capturing tighter loan spreads and extending the duration of capital structures. 

This had a significant impact on the leveraged loan maturity wall, which by the end of 2023 saw almost no remaining 2024 maturities outstanding. Overall, US and European liquid loans delivered double-digit total returns for 2023, the strongest posted in over a decade.
