We review the fast-growing private credit market, historicallydominated by middle market loans. Today, “private credit” is expanding andincludes other types of debt (consumer loans, CRE transition loans, SingleFamily Rental loans). Alternative asset managers originate/purchase these loans, and then addleverage to deliver high returns to investors with long-term investment horizons(e.g., high net worth, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds). Investment implications. Historically, the securitized bond market providesleverage for many “private credit” assets. More securitized issuance will shifttoward private markets, especially during volatile capital markets. Buyers mustbalance spread pickup and customized loan terms available in private creditdebt with the liquidity in securitized bonds. Private credit could also refinancesome loans (middle market, commercial real estate) that public markets viewtoday as highly likely to default.
