Private markets investors are increasingly looking beyond traditional direct lending opportunities. One area gaining attention is capital call financing, a niche but growing segment of the fund finance market that offers access to investment-grade private credit risk.

In this episode, Viran Patel from Hymans Robertson is joined by Penny Cochrane and Shelley Morrison from Aberdeen. Together, they explore how capital call financing works, why the market has grown so rapidly and the role it can play within institutional portfolios.

They discuss the evolution of the market, the shift from bank-led lending to greater participation from non-bank investors and the factors driving demand. They also explore the risk and return profile of these facilities, including the importance of manager selection, operational expertise and the quality of underlying investors.

You'll hear how capital call financing differs from other private credit strategies, where it may fit within an investment-grade portfolio and the key considerations for investors assessing the opportunity.
