#StarMountainCapital is dedicated to sharing market insights such as supply / demand impacts on pricing and risk. Insight Highlights: • Significant growth in Private Credit Fundraising – Over $1.6 trillion as of 2023. • Market Segmentation – The private credit market shows significant differences between the larger end of the market and the lower middle-market, with each segment experiencing unique risks and opportunities due to the different supply and demand dynamics. • Large Market Risks – In the larger market, key risks include falling interest rates and intense competition, which puts pressure on pricing, legal agreements and loan quality. • Lower Middle-Market Opportunities – The lower middle-market faces distinct risks related to the need for active portfolio company management but offers opportunities to capitalize on supply / demand imbalances and potential valuation arbitrage through EBITDA multiple expansion.
