Show Notes

We are thrilled to have Westbrooke Alternative Asset Management as a brand partner to Magic Markets. With over R8 billion in assets under management across South Africa, the UK and the USA, Westbrooke provides a unique gateway to the world of alternative investments.

Dino Zuccollo (Head of Product Development and Distribution at Westbrooke) first joined us on Ep59 to discuss an overview of the Westbrooke business. In Ep63, Dino is back to delve into some of the more technical concepts in detail.

We kick off with a discussion around liquidity in this asset class, a question raised by a listener on Twitter. There are important points noted around overall portfolio construction and strategy and how an alternative portfolio fits into that.

We then move on to discuss the various tiers in a balance sheet, ranging from debt to equity and all the mezzanine structures inbetween. This is a fascinating space. Westbrooke specialises in innovative financing that touches all these elements, making it an attractive option for both investors and those looking to raise finance for businesses and projects.

Visit www.westbrooke.co.za to find out more. Westbrooke Alternative Asset Management is an authorised Financial Services Provider, FSP number 46750.
