Over the last decade, the opportunity within private credit has grown substantially. As banks and other traditional lenders have played a diminishing role in lending to small and mid-sized companies, credit-focused investment firms have stepped in to fill the void.  We seem to be one of those firms and hope to add value to family-owned business in a selective manner.

Advantages:

• The shift of some longer-term lending from banks to asset managers, and investors’ search for yield, have spurred a rapid rise in private credit
• It can offer investors diversification, low volatility, and predictable and attractive risk-adjusted returns, especially in the current higher interest rate environment
• Slowing growth and floating-rate interest payments will put more private credit borrowers under pressure and could result in higher default rates on existing loans; but recovery rates have historically exceeded those for the equivalent-rated publicly traded bonds
• For investors with an appetite and tolerance for illiquid investments, private credit can be a valuable addition to a more traditional fixed income portfolio.
