Started Aug. 21, 2023

Abstract or project description

This paper examines why there has been a surge in appetite for private credit funds and private capital support in different deals throughout the market. Private credit offerings have continued to evolve and more recently are becoming a very attractive investment. In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in interest in private credit as an alternative financing option among both investors and borrowers. The goal of this paper is to provide a thorough analysis of the factors driving this trend by highlighting the importance of borrowers and lenders, regulatory impacts, market structure, and the particular advantages that private credit funds provide. This research hopes to offer valuable insight into the evolving financial market and the growing role of private credit in funding deals of varying sizes.
