Last week, I moderated a panel discussion at the Private Credit Europe event. The discussion featured a diverse range of opinions on how to handle ESG in private markets, including perspectives on engagement strategies, dedication clauses, and regional or thematic focus areas. While the panel disagreed on several topics, we agreed that private markets are an ideal place to invest patient capital. #privatemarkets #esg #pensions

𝐃𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐤𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐚𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐦𝐚'𝐬: 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐭? Stel je voor: de tijd om in te varen is bijna daar en ineens dalen de rente en aandelenkoersen, waardoor de dekkingsgraad daalt en pensioenen worden gekort. Het beschermen van de dekkingsrgaad in aanloop naar het nieuwe stelsel had dit scenario kunnen voorkomen. Aan de andere kant vereist het beschermen van de dekkingsgraad een investering die bij stabiele markten verloren gaat. De keuze is complex en tijdrovend en vereist een zorgvuldige afweging. Met huidig hoge dekkingsgraden is de keuze om al dan niet te beschermen extra relevant. Roel Mehlkopf, adviseur bij Cardano, heeft voor SPO Perform twee video's opgenomen. Eén over de voor- en tegenargumenten voor het beschermen van de dekkingsgraad en één over hoe je de dekkingsgraadbescherming kunt inrichten.
