Private credit is a growing and dynamic asset class that offers investors a path to investing in the private credit space. The decline of the traditional 60-40 portfolio has opened up opportunities in private credit, which offers higher returns and shorter duration compared to other credit markets. Private credit has experienced massive growth since the Great Financial Crisis, driven by stricter regulation on banks and the demand for credit from small businesses and consumers. Nelson Chu's company, Percent, is helping satisfy the high demand in the private credit market by offering investors access to diverse and unique investment opportunities. Understanding the structure and characteristics of private credit deals is crucial for investors to make informed investment decisions. The private credit market has proven to be countercyclical, stepping up during times of crisis and offering investors the potential for uncorrelated returns. Family offices, registered investment advisors, and institutional investors are increasingly interested in private credit as a way to enhance their portfolios and seek higher yields.
