Date 2 April 2020

As the disruption brought on by the outbreak of the COVID-19 Global Health Crisis continues to spread through the credit markets, Alantra’s Credit Portfolio Advisory (CPA) team considers how specific asset and real estate classes across the UK and Europe will both challenge and provide opportunities to credit investors and financiers.
In the short term, nearly all credit investments are experiencing delayed collections from borrower situations, regulatory moratoriums and a slowing of the real estate market. Meanwhile, a flight of capital from public credit markets to risk free assets has prompted credit investors to broadly focus on liquid public, over illiquid private, opportunities.
In this paper, Alantra’s CPA team specifically discusses how the challenges of short term and long term asset quality impairment, government and central bank responses and tightening funding will affect the credit and real estate landscape, presenting both challenges and opportunities for investors and financiers.
In unprecedented times, Alantra’s CPA team represents the largest and only independent, global financial advisor to banks and non-bank lenders. We have:
