VENDOR WHITEPAPERS
Preqin has released a Q3 2021 quarterly update on private debt.
From www.preqin.com: “Private debt’s recovery from the pandemic has not been even. Fundraising has yet to reach anywhere near its previous highs, with Q3 the weakest quarter for number of funds closed since Q1 2016 . This has knocked funds in market, which are at record highs – 691 in October, up from 547 in January 2021 – although capital targeted remains static. The bulk of funds are targeting direct lending, which remains an investor favorite following solid performance.”
