Alternative Manager With Strong Asset Support
Edison | Jun 12, 2018 06:09AM ET
Over the past year, DeA Capital (BS:DEAm) has continued to make good progress in implementing the growth strategy for its alternative asset management (AAM) platform, comprising private equity, real estate and non-performing loans (NPLs). New fund launches have contributed to assets under management (AUM) growth of c 10% since end-FY16. Meanwhile, cash flow from its significant asset portfolio has remained strong, more than sufficient to fund co-investment in new fund launches, new direct investments and a continued high dividend distribution. After recent volatility in Italian markets, the yield is again more than 9% and the discount to our fair value of €1.72 per share is c 26%.
Focus on AAM growth
DeA is a leader in AAM within Italy, providing an integrated platform comprising private equity, real estate and NPLs, with AUM of more than €11.6bn. Its strategic focus is to consolidate this strong domestic market position while selectively exploring opportunities for expansion into other European markets. The latter would be targeted at taking advantage at the ongoing growth in the alternative asset subsector within the wider asset management industry, further expanding DeA’s base of investors, as well as broadening its product range. DeA also seeks to expand its presence in the NPL segment.
