About the private debt market
The private debt space is the fastest growing within asset management. Over the past 5 years more and more alternative asset managers, as well as some private equity houses, have diversified and began to launch credit and private debt strategies. The fund structures are the same as private equity and as such, to keep up with demand, funds are willing to hire those with private equity experience. Private debt and credit can mean a variety of different things but to break down what they offer in the most simplistic terms we can differentiate between liquid and illiquid assets. Some private debt firms will look to lend to small businesses where banks can not compete, these are illiquid assets. Liquid assets come in the form of 'hedge fund' or 'banking' type products such as fixed income, CLOs, distressed debt etc. Candidates for both illiquid and liquid debt funds are in high demand.
