📉 Fewer Public Companies, More Private Opportunities 📈 In the US, the number of publicly listed companies has halved since its 1996 peak, with fewer new entrants and M&A-driven de-listings reshaping the market. The much-vaunted US market is shifting and private assets are stepping into the spotlight.   Private assets, from private debt to infrastructure investments, offer enhanced returns and reduced risk, creating unique opportunities in today’s investment landscape.   For us, in the credit ratings space, this shift brings exciting challenges. Rating private assets requires nuanced, complex analysis—and, here at ARC Ratings, we are rising to the task. Let us embrace this evolving dynamic and continue driving excellence in assessing private market risks and opportunities.
