As private debt takes stock in the wake of covid-19, US credit markets are of crucial importance. While fundraising is struggling in many private markets amid the coronavirus, there are grounds for optimism in US debt, especially in the mid-market, where CVC Credit Partners closed its second-generation US direct lending fund above target at $657 million in April. And while private fund managers overall expect fundraising to fall 20 percent in 2020, according to a recent survey, debt managers are notably more confident, projecting a five percent increase in fundraising in 2020.
