The private credit market has experienced a volatile start to the year. Private credit managers entered the year optimistic that M&A activity would return and dealmaking conditions would become more constructive. Instead, they have faced a rapid increase in redemption requests at retail-focused private credit funds, continued competition from the broadly syndicated loan (BSL) market and renewed expectations of interest-rate increases, rather than a much-anticipated easing
cycle.
DC Advisory’s US Private Capital Markets team, in partnership with LevFin Insights, part of CreditSights, examines the key developments shaping the market, including:
- Retail outflows are putting pressure on private credit pricing and market sentiment
- Higher private credit costs are driving borrowers back to the BSL market
- Elevated interest rates and subdued LBO activity continue to challenge private credit growth
