Private Credit Quarterly Webinar
The size and scope of the global private credit markets will continue to grow rapidly in 2025, spurred by lower interest rates, declining default risk and solid economic strength. Global private credit assets under management will jump to $3 trillion by 2028, reflecting greater momentum than in the past two years. Join us as we delve into Moody’s Ratings’ Private Credit Outlook to discuss the deepening ties between insurance companies and private credit, and highlight the expansion into asset-backed financing (ABF), as the investor base grows and regulatory priorities shift.
Topics include:
- How will competition between the syndicated loan market and direct lenders impact strengthening credit fundamentals in 2025?
- How is ABF rapidly migrating to private credit, and fueling the growth of securitization?
- What is fueling the rise in partnerships between the banks, insurance and alternative asset managers?
- What are the risks associated with the increasing “retailization” of private credit which today is quite modest?
- What will the regulatory climate look like in 2025?
