☎ London is calling – Spotlight Emerging Private Credit Managers After a fantastic start under a new flag at LBBW Asset Management Investmentgesellschaft mbH, I am delighted to be invited to speak again at Europe's largest private credit conference #PDIEurope by Private Debt Investor. As a member of the Advisory Board of PDI Europe, I am looking forward to an exciting conference. Within private markets there is a large degree of information disparity as #LPs do not have equal access to information about the entire market. In fundraising, a so-called "size bias" can be observed frequently - large multi-asset managers tend to raise larger funds. Why should you look at emerging managers? What are the pitfalls in the selection process and where are the growth areas that have not yet been filled? Together with Brendan D. Foley, Leo Fletcher-Smith, Meaghan Mahoney and Danny Vroegop, we will discuss emerging managers from the perspective of LPs and GPs. I am looking forward to a controversial and exciting discussion.   Many thanks to Hannah Ogunlowo from #PDI for putting together this great program. #managerselection #privatedebt #privatemarkets

Guarantees demonstrably catalyse private capital mobilisation in emerging markets projects. So why do MDBs use them so sparingly? The problem is institutional incompatibility.

Earlier this year, we advised Nature Infrastructure Capital on the raise of the single-asset fund for their 50/50 joint venture with X-ELIO, a portfolio company of Brookfield, for the investment in ECO STOR, a leading German developer and operator of utility-scale battery projects. In conjunction with the new joint venture, Harris Williams advised NIC on their raise of the single-asset fund that will support ECO STOR’s near-term funding needs. NIC’s focus on the global energy transition market, their transparent and detailed approach, and ECO STOR’S strong management team and ambitious growth plan made this a very attractive opportunity to investors. There are strong tailwinds supporting an ambitious build out of renewable electricity generation capacity with a view of reducing gas dependency, increasing the need for batteries to provide flexibility to the grid. We look forward to seeing what ECO STOR accomplishes in their next chapter under the ownership of NIC and X-ELIO. https://lnkd.in/e_8dR7pp #privatecapitaladvisory
