Loans to Dutch SMEs: Attractive returns and a positive impact

The downturn in financial markets as a result of the coronavirus crisis reached a turning point in March. Since then, markets have recovered strongly, with a recovery of around 70%-80% of the losses. This article is a summary of a second webinar (in a series of three) on Alternative Fixed Income and Responsible Investments hosted by Aegon Asset Management. In this webinar, Gerard Moerman discussed SME loans with Frank Meijer and Brunno Maradei. Apart from enhancing return and diversification, these loans can help investors to achieve their social and economic impact objectives.
