Creating the first energy link between Germany and the UK The energy transition and the security of energy supply are key themes for the further development of our energy infrastructure. The NeuConnect interconnector (a structure that enables electricity to flow between two separate power grids) involves running undersea cables between Germany and the United Kingdom to create an invisible energy highway, providing, for the first time, a direct power link between two of Europe’s largest energy markets. When completed, the interconnector will span 725 km between Southeast England and Northern Germany, making it one of the world’s largest interconnector projects. Up to 1.4 gigawatts (GW) will be able to flow in either direction between the two countries, powering up to 1.5 million homes. #infrastructure #privatemarkets #realassets | NeuConnect | Allianz * For professional investors only.

Understanding Private Debt secondaries – What types do exist? They have been part of the private equity business for years and are also becoming increasingly important in private debt: secondary market transactions or secondaries. Secondaries are "second-hand shares", so to speak, but not second-class shares, as depending on the fund's term, market environment, and the seller's situation, they can offer interesting entry opportunities for institutional investors to support their portfolio construction. Generally, there are two types of secondary market transactions: ➡️ LP-led secondaries: These transactions occur when Limited Partners or LPs (fund investors) seek liquidity in the short or medium-term or wish to rebalance their portfolios. They offer their fund units on the secondary market. ➡️ GP-led secondaries: Fund managers (General Partners or GPs) initiate GP-led secondaries by offering portions of their portfolios that haven’t been liquidated as expected. This may happen, for instance, when closing funds and distributing returns to investors. Notably, “tail-end” transactions often arise during GP-led secondaries, involving the sale of a fund’s last remaining portfolio companies. Quicker allocation to private markets: Attractive returns, accelerated capital deployment, and broad diversification make secondaries a valuable addition to rapidly expanding portfolios. They facilitate quicker allocation to private markets compared to primary fund investments. 👍 Strong market opportunity: The current market volatility and shifts in target allocation within private market portfolios have led more LPs to explore exit options via private debt secondaries. Simultaneously, secondaries are gaining traction on the GP side. ⬆️ Growing importance of Private Debt Secondaries: Against the backdrop of economic uncertainty and banks’ reluctance to lend, the private debt market assumes a pivotal role for institutional investors. Following the trajectory seen in private equity, turnover of private debt secondary transactions is expected to accelerate over the coming years. GPs and LPs alike explore secondary solutions for liquidity reasons. Industry experts predict that the volume of secondary market transactions in private debt will continue to surge, potentially reaching USD 50 billion by 2026**. As AUM continue to expand structurally, private debt secondaries are poised to become a significant asset class in themselves.
