A Decade of Private Debt
Where did the time go? A Decade of Private Debt celebrates 10 years of Private Debt Investor with reflections on all the key developments of the decade – plus a peek at the future.
In this six-episode podcast miniseries, PDI’s editorial team talk to some of the leading figures in the debt industry to reflect on the remarkable growth of private debt as an asset class. They look at its origins up through the pre-financial crisis days, when mezzanine funds were a rather exotic sub-category of the private equity universe.
By the time PDI was launched in 2013, private debt was emerging as an asset class in its own right – with GPs spotting an opportunity to raise funds for corporate lending, given the gap in the market created by the retreating banks and LPs beginning to carve out private debt-specific allocations. Today, of course, the asset class covers a wide range of strategies and has moved firmly into the investment mainstream.
Listen to A Decade of Private Debt to hear six changemakers of the industry reflect on the past decade and look ahead at what’s to come.
