Private credit is reshaping global capital markets at an unprecedented pace. What began as non‑bank lending to middle‑market borrowers, has expanded across asset classes and structures from private placements and asset‑based finance to real estate, infrastructure, and fund finance fueling new competition and partnerships among banks, insurers, and asset managers. As capital shifts further into private markets, opacity increases, risk profiles diverge, and traditional public‑market signals become less reliable.
For more than 100 years, Moody’s has set the standard for understanding credit risk in public markets. We bring that same analytical rigor to private credit providing the insights, data, and research market participants need to identify emerging risks, compare opportunities across strategies, and make more informed decisions in a rapidly expanding and increasingly complex private credit ecosystem.
After years of astronomical growth, private credit faces volatility from a wave of redemptions, AI disruption and calls for transparency. Retail investment is a wildcard, also raising the stakes.
As the private credit markets face escalating volatility, our analysis of 10 key proprietary indicators focuses on where pockets of stress are rising.
Private market funds have transformed the once-narrow financing tool into a core portfolio management and fundraising solution, a critical backstop and a key investable asset class.
Alternative asset managers must adapt to rising scrutiny and calls for liquidity as demand for capital grows globally.
Stay ahead in private markets. Amidst unprecedented uncertainty and volatility, private credit and private equity are about to confront their biggest test in a long time. These markets have experienced strong growth, thriving in both favorable and adverse conditions. However, new obstacles are emerging.
