13 January 2025 | Allianz Global Investors (AllianzGI) today announced the final close of the global Allianz Private Debt Secondaries Fund (APDS) including related transaction vehicles at EUR 1.5bn. The fund, which was launched in September 2022, is the first secondaries fund of AllianzGI. The APDS invests in senior direct lending opportunities, selectively complemented by opportunistic positions and aims to build a diversified portfolio across managers, sectors, and geographies.

Thanks to the strong interest from international institutional investors as well as Allianz as strong anchor investor, the secondaries fund was heavily oversubscribed and exceeded the initial EUR 500mn target fund size. The launch of the successor strategy is planned for mid of this year.

The APDS´ institutional investors can leverage on AllianzGI´s strong private debt primary and co-investment activities and invest thanks to its large international network in secondary opportunities targeting the US, Europe, and Asia.

 

 

Edouard Jozan, Head of Distribution Europe,
“The market for private debt secondaries is being established and we were one of the first asset managers to launch a fund for this strategy. We are very proud of the strong interest we have seen from many international institutional investors for our first secondaries fund that allows investors to benefit from the strong position of Allianz as one of the leading private debt investors globally*.”

“We expect private debt secondaries to grow further in the next years and are grateful for the trust from so many institutional clients. With over 15 years of investing experience, we can rely on a strong network and market access that helped us to commit a significant portfolio for the APDS already. As one of the frontrunners in the market, we look forward to sourcing further attractive investment opportunities while we are working on the launch of a successor strategy that is envisaged for mid of 2025”, add Joaquín Ardit and Anselm Feigenbutz, Senior Portfolio Managers Allianz Private Debt Secondaries.
