Why private debt in emerging markets is a game-changer for impact investors
Tuesday 02 December 2025 | 13:00 - 14:00 | Webinar
This webinar is hosted by the CFA UK Sustainability Community
Join us for an insightful conversation on how private credit is unlocking both strong financial returns and meaningful impact in emerging markets.
Despite powering global economic growth, emerging markets remain underrepresented in most developed market portfolios. Yet they offer compelling advantages for private debt investors:
-
Attractive, risk-adjusted returns
-
Low correlation with traditional asset classes
-
Historically low default rates
-
Opportunities to finance sustainable, high-impact solutions
With a staggering US$4.3 trillion annual funding gap in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, private debt is uniquely positioned to bridge this divide, especially by supporting SMEs and scalable ventures in underserved regions.
