At a time where smooth, stable and attractive investment returns are hard to come by, private debt investments are becoming very attractive for some asset owners. As such, the industry has seen a steady flow of assets into various types of private debt. However, these investments are not without their own unique risks and challenges.
PGIM participated in the “Understanding Opportunities in the Corporate Private Debt Market” session at Institutional Investor’s 2021 Korea Global Investment Forum. During the session, Tony Coletta, Senior Vice President and Head of Investor Relations for Alternatives at PGIM Private Capital, explored what types of corporate private debt assets are most suitable for Korean institutional investors and discussed best practices for selecting assets and funds. The session also explored:
- Evaluating the vast offering of private debt structures for suitability in Korean institutional portfolios

- Manager selection and due diligence
