What is private credit?

Lending that happens outside of banks and public markets.

A $3.5 trillion asset class, according to Morgan Stanley, once accessible only with institutional minimums. That’s changing.

01

A company needs capital — but not equity.

To grow their loan book, finance inventory, or expand operations, a business needs financing. Selling equity means giving up ownership. Public bond markets require high minimums and extensive disclosure. And for many borrowers, banks have pulled back — post-Basel III regulations pushed them away from whole categories of lending.

02

Private credit fills the gap.

A private lender steps in and makes the loan directly. No bond issuance. No bank intermediary. Terms are negotiated privately: loan size, interest rate, collateral, duration. The borrower gets flexible capital; the lender earns interest over the life of the deal.

03

It’s a $3 trillion market — and still growing.

Private credit has expanded from a niche institutional strategy to one of the largest alternative asset classes in the world. On track for $5 trillion by 2029.
