Debt LPNews’ Post

I was recently interviewed for an insightful IPE Real Assets article to discuss the growing appeal of infrastructure debt funds and their role in today's financial landscape. The article explores how infrastructure debt can effectively align with long-term liabilities, which is fueling growth in this sector. We also discuss the rising demand for digital and decarbonization infrastructure and the potential benefits it offers, alongside the importance of maintaining a rigorous risk management approach to address construction risks, new technologies, and merchant power price volatility in infrastructure credit investments.

📣 We were delighted to attend the Private Debt Investor conference this week in London, which explored key topics in the private credit market. Our CEO Sabrina Fox spoke on a panel regarding challenges of data reliability and quality, a challenge we have been tackling at ELFA. See below some of our insights, and some of our resources that can be used as guidance to support transparency in the market.  1. Private Credit: An asymmetric asset class for dealing with defaults. Navigating defaults in private credit is complex and varied. Different managers have different strategies, from in-house capabilities to third-party evaluations. So far, these are untested waters. 2. Valuation dilemma for private credit managers: Private credit managers employ various valuation models and timelines, leading to inconsistency. Dive into ELFA's technical guide for insights on navigating valuation challenges which can help with this: https://lnkd.in/d6HFKexw 3. Collaboration or Competition? The relationship between private credit and equity during borrower distress hinges on reputation, asset type, and document flexibility. As more borrowers face difficulties, priorities may shift between relationships and end-investor interests. 4. Green energy transition: Lenders must engage with borrowers strategically during the energy transition - this might be when the borrower needs funding, or if they are growing. More engagement can be done in the private credit space which will help to ensure that the transition to green energy is met. 5. ESG reporting realities: GPs must scrutinize their ESG reporting to convey real impact. ELFA offers workshops and insights to foster consistency and transparency on ESG data, ultimately enhancing their ability to do so.
