Euroclear FundsPlace®, the global market infrastructure for funds and Muzinich & Co., a leading specialist in public and private global corporate credit strategies, today announced a new strategic collaboration to bring global access to private credit solutions.
The partnership is focused on distributing Muzinich’s specialist credit offerings, including its innovative European parallel lending strategy. By leveraging Euroclear FundsPlace’s international reach and digital operating platform, this initiative will expand the availability of these strategies – which offer long-term, floating-rate income and diversification – to wealth managers and institutional investors, particularly across the APAC and LATAM regions.
By reducing the operational complexity often associated with global cross-border distribution and semi-liquid products, Euroclear FundsPlace and Muzinich are simplifying the investment journey and enabling more seamless portfolio exposure to the private credit asset class.
As Premal Vadgama, Global Head of Sales – Alternatives at Euroclear FundsPlace, puts it: "Credit strategies in private markets are in high demand globally. Our collaboration with Muzinich, a firm renowned for its credit expertise, represents a significant step in enhancing our alternative funds offering and effectively turning a complex, illiquid asset class into an accessible investment solution."
Rafael Ximenez de Embún, Country Head Iberia & Latam at Muzinich & Co. added: "We are delighted to partner with Euroclear FundsPlace to accelerate the global distribution of our private credit strategies. The efficiency and scale provided by the Euroclear FundsPlace platform are key to provide wealth managers and private banks access to our semi-liquid product offering. By partnering with Euroclear FundsPlace we seek to broaden investor access to our European parallel lending strategy, where investors can access the benefits of diversification and regular income available from private debt but with added liquidity."
