Is alternative financing becoming essential for mid-sized companies? This insightful post by Tayfun Atailer from our Alternative Investments practice has the details.
Global Partnerships Fuel Private Credit Boom in a Trillion-Dollar Market! Private credit is becoming a big trend, as companies team up to address a growing market valued at over $1 to $2 trillion. In September alone, major partnerships emerged between firms like Apollo, Citigroup, and Mubadala. These collaborations are aimed at offering new ways for businesses to secure loans, focusing primarily on mid-sized companies, distressed assets, and new tools like private credit ETFs. The overall goal is to help businesses access needed funds while offering investors opportunities for strong returns. These partnerships are giving firms the chance to tap into local expertise and share the risks of lending. For businesses, private credit offers an alternative to traditional financing, allowing them to access the capital they need to grow, even when conventional bank loans aren’t available. For investors, private credit offers a chance to earn higher returns in a relatively lower-risk environment. While these partnerships are set to drive significant changes in the financial services industry, there are also challenges. Businesses and investors will need to balance new opportunities with the operational complexities involved. Adopting the right technology systems and implementing an accurate, clear and transparent data & reporting systems are key as managing both public and private investments can be complex. Getting this right could give firms a competitive edge. If you’re dealing with these challenges or looking to better navigate the growing private credit market, I’m available for a confidential discussion. Whether you need advice on change leadership, implementing a hybrid reporting solution, or for a health check of your operations to optimise your operating model, having expert input can help you stay ahead of the curve. Recent Key Private Credit Partnerships (September 2024) North America -Apollo & Citigroup: A $25B private credit platform with Mubadala and Athene, focusing on corporate and financial sponsor transactions in North America. -Apollo & State Street: Launching a private credit ETF targeting institutional investors. -Apollo & BNP Paribas: A $5B partnership focused on investment-grade credit assets. EMEA -KKR & Mubadala Investment Company: Private credit across Europe aimed at financing mid-market companies. -Partners Group & ADIA: A $3B European private credit platform targeting senior secured loans for middle-market firms. -Macquarie Group & Allianz: A $2B partnership to co-invest in private credit, focusing on distressed credit and special situations in the UK and Germany. APAC -Apollo & MUFG: A $2.5B private credit fund focused on medium-sized businesses in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. -Carlyle Group & Temasek Holdings: A $1.5B fund aimed at financing high-growth companies in Southeast Asia. -KKR & GIC: A $2B private credit fund targeting corporate debt in China and India.
