LEARN PRIVATE CREDIT

Private credit, clearly explained.

Lending outside the public markets—structured around the borrower, the collateral and the terms.

WHAT IS PRIVATE CREDIT?

Capital is privately negotiated between a borrower and a lender—without issuing a publicly traded bond.

01

Access should be earned through clarity.

Investors should understand what they own, how returns are produced and where the risks sit.

02

A private lender structures the loan.

Loan size, rate, duration, covenants and collateral can be tailored to the borrower and the opportunity.

03

Interest creates contractual income.

Rather than relying on equity appreciation, the lender receives interest and fees under the terms of the loan.

04

Structure matters as much as yield.

Seniority, collateral, leverage, borrower quality, diversification and servicing shape the risk behind a stated return.

THE PRIVATE CREDIT LANDSCAPE

One asset class. Many kinds of lending.

Private credit spans borrowers, collateral types and loan structures. Select a category to see how the capital is commonly used—and what usually supports the loan.

BEYOND THE HEADLINE YIELD

Private credit has moved into the mainstream.

Specialized non-bank lending has expanded as borrowers sought flexible capital and institutions allocated more to private markets. The Bank for International Settlements reported that global private credit assets under management exceeded $2.5 trillion in 2025.

01

Where am I in the capital stack?

Senior and subordinated positions carry different claims on collateral and cash flow.

02

Banks do not fund every need

Regulatory, balance-sheet and underwriting constraints have created space for specialized lenders.

03

Investors seek contractual income

Floating rates, collateral and negotiated protections can create a different profile from public stocks and bonds.

BEYOND THE HEADLINE YIELD

Six questions every investor should ask.

Where am I in the capital stack?

Senior and subordinated positions carry different claims on collateral and cash flow.

What supports the loan?

Understand the collateral, valuation method, loan-to-value and borrower equity cushion.

Who underwrites and services it?

Origination discipline, monitoring and workout capabilities matter throughout the loan’s life.

How diversified is the portfolio?

Look at concentration by borrower, geography, collateral, maturity and lending partner.

What is the liquidity profile?

Private loans do not trade like public bonds. Match fund terms to your time horizon.

What can go wrong?

Test defaults, falling collateral values, extensions, leverage and distribution assumptions.
