Private Credit: An Australian Perspective
The Australian private debt market reached $133 billion at the end of 2021, up by $100 billion over five years. While private credit is growing, the asset class is not widely understood by investors. Simply put, private credit is non-bank lending provided to private, sponsored and public companies; the debt is not issued or traded on public markets and as such benefits from an illiquidity risk premium, which can help to drive investor returns.
