Fiera Private Debt Inc. announced Jan. 14, a non-bank private debt platform and an operating unit of Fiera Capital Corporation, has announced the official launch of its latest North American infrastructure debt strategy.
Fiera Private Debt says the strategy offers investors private infrastructure debt exposure across both Canada and the United States and focuses on mid-market investment sizes that are below the target size for many of the larger infrastructure debt players.
The investment approach is designed to create a diverse portfolio of private infrastructure debt investments structured as primarily senior secured loans offering attractive coupons and strong lender protections, says Fiera Private Debt.
"We believe our North American infrastructure debt strategy will be compelling to institutional investors seeking exposure to this high-quality asset class. In a low yield and high volatility investment environment, infrastructure debt continues to provide attractive risk adjusted returns with lower correlation to public markets, as well as strong diversification and steady cash flow," said Theresa Shutt, Senior Vice President, Fiera Private Debt.
