What do Private Credit Funds do?

Private Credit Funds are investment vehicles that
specialize in providing debt financing to companies
outside of traditional banking channels. These funds
often target mid-sized companies, offering various debt
structures such as direct loans, mezzanine financing,
distressed debt, and more.

Why Invest in Private Credit Funds?

Investing in Private Credit Funds can offer higher yields
compared to traditional fixed-income investments, with the
added benefit of diversifying credit exposure. These funds
play a critical role in financing businesses, often
accompanied by detailed covenants and security provisions
that provide layers of protection for investors.
