SAIL Investments is a private credit asset manager investing globally (https://sail-investments.com/).

SAIL targets sponsor-less mid-market and large cap corporates active in the food systems space (a USD 13 trillion universe and growing). SAIL's strategic investment approach is to embed a Sustainable Value Creation Plan (SVCP) into the growth plans of its borrowers, pre-loan disbursement. The borrower commits to the transition as expressed by sustainability maintenance covenants linked to the loan. In this way, SAIL derisks the credit, mitigates physical risk, improves the market position of the companies, increases their profit margin and thus their economic value.

For investors the value unlocked translates into a "double hedge" benefit in a total credit portfolio context: on the one hand the strategy delivers strong diversification versus traditional (US) private credit given a) senior secured, (no uni-tranche) BB credit with a heavy financial and non-financial covenants pack and b) a derisked portfolio of new names as physical risk has decreased and hence resilience has increased.

Since inception, SAIL's investments have protected 3.4 million hectares of natural tropical forest (the surface of Belgium), generated a climate benefit of 21 million tCO2e, supported 76,678 people and have delivered biodiversity benefits through SAIL's “Nature Framework” underpinning its nature positive pathway.

Based on SAIL's investments to date, the forests protected store over a billion tCO2. In addition to delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns and high impact multiples, SAIL provides investors with state-of-the-art KPI reporting on climate benefits, biodiversity protection and social inclusion based on third-party verified and assured KPIs.

The private credit strategy is aligned with EU SFDR Article 9, covers SDGs 2, 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 15 and 17 and reports under UNPRI, UN GC, TNFD and TCFD. SAIL also delivers bespoke investor reporting upon request.
