Continuation vehicles (CVs) have migrated from the margin to the mainstream. In fact, CVs have become firmly entrenched in the private equity eco-system and appear now to be the clear choice for GP-led secondary transactions.

• How CVs are a becoming a permanent feature of the private equity landscape

Signs that ongoing problems in China’s property sector could spill over to other parts of the economy sparked a sell-off in Asian markets.

Investing in Asia: embracing long-term opportunities in the face of uncertainty

Natural climate solutions are critical to our net zero goals: Carbon-focused timberland investment can deliver the same benefits to our clients. Eric Cooperström, managing director of our impact investing and natural climate solutions, shares the investment opportunities offered by carbon-focused timberland in this six-minute video interview, recorded at the annual BAI Alternative Investor Conference, Germany.

Investing in carbon-focused timberland - an interview with Eric Cooperstrom

International carbon markets are rapidly evolving in response to the challenges presented by climate change, with a significant increase in carbon market activity, reflecting the continued rapid expansion of private sector net zero commitments. Meanwhile, interest in nature-based solutions, such as sustainable forestry, has risen markedly within a constrained supply environment. But the criticism surrounding carbon market standards continues: Looking forward, high-quality, high-integrity practices that support real, additional, and permanent carbon sequestration will be key to strengthening confidence. Clearer and more transparent standards will help transform the effectiveness of carbon markets as a means for investors and companies to meet their climate goals. 

In this session, Manulife Investment Management’s Eric Cooperström, managing director of impact investing and natural climate solutions, and Beatriz Zavariz, associate director of international carbon markets, will examine significant factors supporting the growth and integrity of global carbon markets, and provide an outlook for their future. 

Moderated by: Michael Strzelecki, CFA, managing director, business development, senior timberland portfolio manager.

Global carbon markets in 2023 and beyond

This seminar answers the questions on institutional investors’ minds regarding one of the most talked about topics in the alternative investment community. Why would a sponsor (GP) want to access the secondary market? What are the benefits to investors (LPs)? Is this a new investment strategy or a trade? Is this a win-win-win for sponsors, old investors and new investors? Why might you look to allocate to GP-led secondaries if you already invest in traditional LP secondaries? Join Jeff Hammer and Paul Sanabria, Co-Heads of Secondaries at Manulife Investment Management, as they discuss factors which led to GP-led secondaries representing half of the $134 billion[1] secondary market in 2021, and why it is likely to be a meaningful part of the secondary market in 2023 and beyond.

GP-led secondaries – motivations, mechanics, and outcomes

Following the challenges and turmoil of 2020, a year that saw unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, we believe Asian fixed income is set to shine this year.

Against a backdrop of positive Covid-19 vaccine news and a new US presidency in 2021, Endre Pedersen, Chief Investment Officer, Fixed Income, Asia ex-Japan, shares his views on how these developments, alongside the region’s diversified economic growth, resilient credit performance and a weakening US dollar, combine to offer diverse investment opportunities and relatively attractive nominal and real yields.

Finally, Endre considers the case for Asian fixed income to be seen as a standalone asset class rather than part of an Emerging Markets fixed income allocation.
