Separating Private Credit Headlines from Credit Fundamentals

A framework for navigating today’s private credit landscape.

Rising defaults, covenant erosion, and growing investor concern have cast a shadow over an asset class that just years ago seemed untouchable. The more important story, however, is not that private credit is broken but that not all private credit is the same. In our latest whitepaper, we examine which segments are under genuine stress and which ones continue to perform as designed. The analysis explains why structure, duration, and underwriting discipline have become defining variables in today's private credit landscape.

Download the whitepaper to understand where risk is quietly building, where we believe opportunity remains, and how to think more precisely about private credit allocation.
