“2024 was anticipated to be a flat yr for institutional fundraising in non-public debt, and this seems to be enjoying out. The technique is coming off 4 consecutive years of $200bn-plus in capital raised globally, with the all-time peak of almost $300bn coming in 2021,” mentioned Tim Clarke, PitchBook lead analyst for personal fairness, non-public debt and M&A analysis.
He added: “Regardless of [a] barely much less beneficial rate of interest backdrop, a gentle touchdown is a beneficial situation for personal debt, and the asset class continues to ship compelling risk-adjusted returns versus different extra dangerous non-public and public market methods.”
