Position Overview

Private Credit has been the fastest growing sub-segment of the Private Markets industry over the past several years. This is expected to continue as more firms see direct/private lending as a way to create portfolio yields that are uncorrelated to public markets; as traditional lending banks continue to face capital constraints and overheads; and as insurance companies seek structured loans and yields to feed their annuity businesses. In addition to direct lending, the definition of Private Credit continues to expand to other areas such Real Estate, Infrastructure and other areas of Asset Based Financing.

Private Credit as an asset class also lends itself to multiple jurisdictions and various structures, including traditional closed ended funds, private hybrid funds, SMAs and registered semi-liquid fund structures such BDC's, Interval Funds, ELTIF's, etc., which will result in broader distribution of these products into wealth channels, and thus more growth.
