Alternative Investments
Our purpose is to provide investors with a range of superior relative value strategies, where we have a clear advantage sourcing, analysing and monitoring the risk we undertake of our clients
Santander Asset Management provides investors with a range of alternative investment opportunities in Venture Capital, Infrastructure, Direct Lending, Trade Finance, Hospitality and Fund of Funds, leveraging on the strengths and extensive origination capabilities of Santander Group.
Alternatives can help to lower volatility, enhance returns and broaden diversification of a portfolio.
At Santander Asset Management we believe that those investors pivoting their portfolios into private markets be able to benefit of the illiquidity premium and the expanded opportunity set. Flows, deal-making and returns remain robust. Private equity and private debt portfolio managers have the flexibility and can help exploit multiple opportunities in the environment of markets and economies in transition that we envision for the coming years. The scarcity of yield in listed securities is forcing investors to look beyond traditional asset classes and listed markets.
