Private debt has been one of the fastest-growing private markets strategies and today stands at $1.5 trillion in assets under management, or just above 10 percent of the total across all strategies, according to Preqin. Private debt funds use a closed-end, commingled fund structure to raise long-term capital that is directly lent generally to below-investment-grade lower-and middle-market companies. It has been a beneficiary of tightening regulation of banking loans, growing demand for financing buyouts, and a decade of (until recently) ultra-low interest rates that spurred investors to search for a higher-yielding, fixed income replacement. Like private equity, private debt is illiquid, locked-in capital but is less risky, given seniority of repayment, attractive contractual and floating rate yields, and active downside protection by fund managers.
