As one of Australia's fastest-growing asset classes, private credit offers a unique opportunity to unlock value with private capital, particularly for investors with space to innovate bespoke solutions across the capital structure.
Deep pools of private capital, coupled with increasing penetration of private creditors into areas previously reserved for more traditional lenders, represent a great opportunity for private credit – especially against the backdrop of a shifting geopolitical environment and a challenging economic climate, both of which necessitate innovative solutions.
