A proud heritage in private assets
A proud heritage in private assets
Generali Group has long invested into private assets for the insurance portfolios of Generali Group legal entities to enhance diversification, pursue attractive risk-adjusted returns and to contribute to the real economy. Today, Generali’s private assets strategies offer external clients the opportunity to invest alongside Generali Group, a cornerstone investor for many of these strategies.
Generali Asset Management’s private asset teams benefit from strong sourcing and due diligence capabilities, aided by Generali Group’s long-term relationships with external firms.
Unlocking direct and indirect opportunities
We offer both direct and indirect private asset strategies.
For example, our direct corporate lending strategy takes a buy and hold approach to support the expansion of European SMEs, with financing across senior debt, unitranche and mezzanine debt.
Meanwhile, our indirect private debt strategies target best-in class private debt global asset managers, offering immediate “one-stop” diversification in a single portfolio. With an established track record, our strategies allow clients access to oversubscribed funds thanks to Generali Group’s extensive, long-standing relationships with global, diversified, high quality asset managers.
We also offer multi-strategy private asset strategies that invest across the sustainable European economy with two return profiles to suit investors: growth and income. The multi-strategy fund-of-fund strategies invest in sustainable European SMEs, the green energy transition and carbon reduction, healthcare, and digital development, and are part of a programme launched by Generali Group to directly support the European economy during the pandemic and beyond.
"Our ambition is to present ourselves to investors, business owners, sponsors and managers as a partner that understands the challenges and opportunities in Europe's private markets. We are constantly working alongside companies to help them create long-term value throughout the economic cycle, contributing to the growth of the real economy and generating stable returns for our investors."
