About this webinar:

For small- and medium- sized pensions schemes, accessing private credit and its consistent income streams and potential for higher yields can be difficult.

However, Schroders believes private credit is no longer the preserve of just large schemes. In this webinar, Russell Smith, co-head of UK institutional at Schroders and Jeremy Knox, investment director at Schroder Adveq – the private equity and debt platform of Schroders – will examine the market dynamics that are making private credit an attractive opportunity.

They will also deliver their thoughts on how to access a diversified mix of private credit assets that all schemes can take advantage of either as a standalone allocation for yield generation, or as a component of a cashflow-driven investment strategy.
