Bayshore looks to Euro investors as it launches debt fund

The US firm is to looking to market to European investors for its globally-mandated, open-ended platform. It focuses on investing in short-term loans and has a target return of between 9 and 11 percent.

Traditionally, private debt funds market products under closed-ended structures, but a growing number are now looking to open-ended vehicles to overcome the issue of the illiquid nature of the asset class.

The latest open-ended structure to launch is from Bayshore Capital Advisors, a Florida-headquartered firm, which plans to market its Global Alternative Income Fund (GAIF) next month to European investors as the demand for yield stretches to illiquid asset classes.
