Arthur Staal, Bunyod Obidkhonov and Vicente Esteve Cuevas will be based in Rotterdam and start Jan. 1, 2027.

The hires lift the private debt team's loan-manager count from four to seven, a 75% increase.

The loan team sits inside a wider credit platform of more than 40 credit managers and 50 sustainability specialists, and Robeco said it plans to grow private debt in Europe on rising investor demand.

Allocators reviewing Robeco's European private debt funds will see a seven-person loan team from Jan. 1, 2027, three more than the current bench. The open due-diligence question is capacity per loan manager: whether the added managers bring more transactions or larger holds.
