A report by Deloitte and AIMA on the $560bn private credit market hails alternative credit as a “quiet revolution” in the way that companies secure funding. The report hones in specifically on alternative lenders and alternative credit managers, with the asset managers surveyed accounting for a grand total of $670bn in funds under management globally. $170bn of this collective pot has been allocated to private credit investment strategies. The sheer volume of money at work within the sector stood out. 15.2% of the managers surveyed had more than $15bn in assets mandated for alternative lending, while nearly 60% had at least $1bn.
