Arca Space Capital
New sources of return and diversification
Investors are increasingly looking for new sources of return and portfolio diversification, and are open to considering new investment strategies. Alternative investments in private markets can offer higher return potential than listed asset classes, not least because of significant illiquidity premia. They also provide access to segments of the market that traditional mutual funds typically under-represent. At the same time, today’s environment of higher capital costs is pushing companies to find new ways to finance international expansion, the sustainable transformation of their business models and digital development. Together, these factors are driving growing interest in private capital. Against this backdrop, Arca Fondi SGR regards the further diversification of its product range into private markets as strategically important, with the aim of offering clients solutions that:
- with high return objectives;
- that tend to have a low correlation with listed financial markets.
Why Arca Space Capital
Opportunity
The decline in IPO activity and the larger size of companies at the time of listing are creating attractive opportunities to capture value through private equity during the strongest stages of corporate growth.
Resilience
Private capital markets have historically proved more resilient than traditional fixed income and equity asset classes in periods of high inflation and rising interest rates.
Growth of Italian Companies
In recent years, Italian entrepreneurs have shown growing interest in private equity funds as a source of capital and external expertise to support the growth of their businesses.
Access to Capital
Companies backed by private equity funds enjoy broader access to capital, allowing them to pursue growth opportunities even in a recessionary environment where competitors may face tighter financing constraints.
