Discover the secrets of Private Equity Debt Investments with Ben Fraser, Chief Investment Officer at Aspen Funds. Learn how leverage impacts your success and more in this episode of Tech Careers and Money Talk
Is your private equity debt investment too leveraged?
Leverage is the use of borrowed money to finance an investment.
It can be a powerful tool for increasing returns, but it also comes with increased risk.
In the latest episode of Tech Careers and Money Talk, Ben Fraser, Chief Investment Officer at Aspen Funds, shares critical insights into the importance of absolute leverage and how it can impact your investment success.
Here are Ben’s recommendations:
💡It is best to cap out at 70%, with the optimal sweet spot being closer to 50%. This gives investors a margin of safety in case the value of the asset declines.
💡 Be conservative when calculating the value of the asset. Use conservative cap rates when calculating the value of an asset for the purpose of a private equity debt investment.
