Amid ongoing macroeconomic concerns, allocators have capitalized on sustained higher interest rates by increasing their investments in private debt. How are allocators viewing this asset class in 2025? Have they reached their limit with private credit, or do they maintain strong confidence in the risk-adjusted returns?
