Global Private Credit Sector – 3 minute Recap

Nehemiah Richardson

Pengana Capital Group

As the CEO of Pengana Credit, I lead our investments primarily in mid-market corporates and lenders in the US and Europe. In this short video, I'll recap the evolving market conditions over the past six to twelve months, noting a shift from uncertainty to increased economic activity and confidence.

Initially, there was uncertainty about economic conditions and interest rates, but confidence grew as the year progressed. This led to a surge in economic activity, particularly in the US, driving M&A transactions and demand for credit. Consequently, we've seen a significant increase in origination activity in the private credit space, reflecting growing confidence and a better understanding of valuation environments.

While there's more confidence now, credit managers remain vigilant, unsure if there will be a soft or hard landing economically. However, I emphasize the strength of top-quartile private credit managers (the type Pengana Credit invests in), who focus on defensive industries with clear cash flow projections and structural protections. 

Despite economic uncertainties, we remain optimistic about continued growth in confidence and transaction volumes.
