PCAM Liquid Alternative Credit

January 21, 2021

The PCAM Liquid Alternative Credit fund is a diversified fund of funds, which invests into niche strategies within the global alternative credit universe.

The fund is diversified across geographies, strategies and asset classes and provides access to selected best-in-class strategies, yielding high and stable returns with low correlation to credit spreads.

Our approach

Liquid Alternative Credit comprises private credit strategies which are niche in nature and command a complexity premium. The space is fragmented into multiple small, capacity constrained managers and comprises a number of sub-strategies, such as trade finance, specialty lending and SME lending. Combining these sub-strategies strongly improves risk-return as they are generally uncorrelated to each other. Underlying instruments are typically unlisted and short-dated, with maturities ranging from 30 days up to 18 months. The fund seeks to provide investors access to a diversified portfolio of such niche strategies and managers, offering quarterly liquidity while yielding stable returns of ca 7-9%, with a low beta to traditional credit markets.
