A strategic, diversified approach to private credit

We believe this Alternative investment option offers investors potential for durable returns

Private credit has historically delivered durable returns, healthy yields and low volatility, which are enabled by low incurred credit losses. While we believe recent fears of a systemic crisis are overstated, we see value in adopting a strategic and selective approach to private credit.

Diversification across managers and segments including general and limited partner strategies, opportunistic.. and asset-backed credit, is essential, and as the economy faces the elevated risks of a slowdown, manager selection becomes ever more critical.

Income

Private credit may offer higher income than traditional fixed income (syndicated high yield or leveraged loans) markets.

Portfolio diversification

For example, direct lending, in part to the bespoke nature of deals, may offer very low correlation to traditional public markets, therefore resulting in diversification benefits.

Bridge through market cycles

Private credit strategies can capitalize across the business cycle with a multifaceted deployment approach throughout periods of economic expansion, downturn and recovery.

Private credit securities may be illiquid, present significant risks, and may be sold or redeemed at more or less than the original amount invested. There may be a heightened risk that private credit issuers and counterparties will not make payments on securities, repurchase agreements or other investments held by the strategy. Such defaults could result in losses. In addition, the credit quality of securities held may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition changes. Lower credit quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a security. Lower credit quality also may affect liquidity and make it difficult to sell the security. Private credit securities may be rated in the lowest investment grade category or not rated. Such securities are considered to have speculative characteristics similar to high yield securities, and issuers of such securities are more vulnerable to changes in economic conditions than issuers of higher-grade securities.

Investment in alternative investment strategies is speculative, often involves a greater degree of risk than traditional investments including limited liquidity and limited transparency, among other factors and should only be considered by sophisticated investors with the financial capability to accept the loss of all or part of the assets devoted to such strategies.​
