1. Investing in the Long-Term Drivers of Economic and Financial Performance - Infrastructure and Private Markets at AGI

Amid current market volatility, maintaining a long-term perspective is crucial for investors seeking success, especially in Private Markets and Infrastructure, where significant opportunities abound.

That's why we at AllianzGI started investing in private markets almost 30 years ago and are now one of the leading players in various segments of private markets:

  • At Allianz Global Investors, we have been investing in infrastructure since 2008. Since then, we've made more than 250 investments across 6 continents and have an experienced team with a proven track record and strong sourcing capabilities.
  • AllianzGI has helped shape the market and continues to do so as we expect to see many more investment opportunities in infrastructure. From data centers to solar farms, we have invested in a wide range of projects designed to make today's infrastructure fit for tomorrow.
  • With over 50 billion euros in assets under management across our infrastructure platform, we are one of the leading players in the market.
  • From debt to equity and from direct to indirect strategies, we can offer the full range of private market solutions, allowing our clients to invest alongside the Allianz Group.1
  • A few powerful examples:
    • Allianz Private Equity Co-Investment (APECO), which offers direct private equity exposure by co-investing in private equity (PE) companies alongside leading fund managers from Allianz's portfolio of primary funds.
    • Allianz Private Debt Secondaries Fund II, which allows investors to benefit from the full breadth and scale of our platform, providing a strong competitive advantage in this highly attractive asset class.
    • Allianz Core Private Markets Fund, which offers investors direct participation in a private markets program that has been built and nurtured over nearly 30 years, delivering market-leading diversification and returns. The innovative structure offers quarterly liquidity, simplified trading through major platforms and none of the typical drawbacks of private market investing.

3. US Investment Grade: Seek Quality in Times of Uncertainty

  • We believe the US investment grade market continues to offer a good entry point for long-term investors. Market fundamentals remain stable, driven by improving earnings, positive rating trends and continued management discipline.
  • Risks we are monitoring include slower macro and earnings growth, rising geopolitical tensions, and uncertainty around the timing and prioritization of policy changes from the Trump administration.
  • Our solution? Allianz US Investment Grade Credit:
    • The fund invests primarily in investment-grade corporate bonds in the US bond market, with a strong focus on fundamental bottom-up issuer analysis.
    • This focus on quality is one of the reasons why Anil Katarya's team has been able to run one of the most consistent and successful US IG strategies in the market over many years.
    • o Allianz US Investment Grade Credit: Allianz US Investment Grade Credit - IT - USD

4. Allianz India Equity - Why is it so exciting?

  • India has historically demonstrated robust economic growth and is forecast to maintain high growth rates over the next five years. With its resilient financial framework, geopolitical stability and resilience to global shocks, the Indian equity market is exciting.
  • We should compare India more to the US than to other emerging markets. If you want to know why, read our "10 reasons why Indian equities won't go the way of other emerging markets".
