Private credit has emerged as one of the most resilient and dynamic asset classes in global markets. Tighter bank regulations, reduced lending, and structural shifts in public debt are fuelling growth, while investors seek yield and diversification, and borrowers demand faster, customised financing.
As we head into 2026, private credit sits at the crossroads of opportunity and uncertainty. It provides stability in volatile markets, flexibility for borrowers, and attractive options for institutional investors. For Australians, the question is not if to participate, but how to access opportunities across the US, Europe, and Asia, and position portfolios to capture yield, manage risk, and benefit from structural tailwinds.
This discussion will cover:
The global growth trajectory of private credit into 2026
How stricter bank rules and weaker public markets are driving private capital
Why institutional investors use private credit for yield, diversification, and resilience
Borrower demand for tailored, flexible financing
The role of Australian super funds and institutions in accessing global opportunities
More information will be available soon.
