Investing in private placementsThe private placement team was established in 1997, at a time when the public bond market was more focused on highly rated issuers, to provide access to a wider range of investment opportunities across the credit spectrum. Originally investing on behalf of Prudential’s own funds we have since expanded our activities to include the management of segregated private placement portfolios for third parties. Despite the rapid growth in issuance by European companies in the private placement market we remain one of only a few European based investors. However, one of our key aims is to encourage the development of a European-based Private Placement Market, either through working with investors on individual transactions or managing funds on their behalf to invest in European Private Placements.
Located in London, the private placement team at M&G is well placed to source and execute private placement opportunities across a wide range of industries and across the credit spectrum. The team has extensive credit and relationship experience and works closely with our in-house team of credit professionals to analyse and execute transactions. Adopting a disciplined credit approach is a key success factor and all assets are assigned an internal credit rating, which is regularly reviewed as part of our ongoing monitoring process.
