New York, N.Y. – May 20, 2022 - Whether the Fed raises interest rates three or four times to try to stamp down soaring inflation, the new, tighter rate environment will steer debt investors away from high-yield public fixed income. As institutions seek out yield, private debt has the potential to capture a larger portion of institutional allocations with its combination of higher starting yields and shorter maturities.

Accordingto a recent survey by Churchill Asse tManagement, public asset volatility, growing inflation concerns and rising interest rates are driving higher interest in private debt than ever before.The war between Russia and Ukraine has only fanned the flames. Of the investors surveyed, 90% said they were either investing in private debt now or were considering adding it to their portfolios.

What will make this market cycle different from previous periods of rising rates is that the efficiency gap between public and private investing is closing. More deals will get done thanks to digital marketplaces that allow investors to quickly source deals, as well as conduct due diligence, score, match, price and close transactions, significantly accelerating the number of deals that get done.

In the coming year we anticipate accelerated deal flow on the platform as lenders allocate capital quicker and more efficiently than before, and borrowers gain access to financing with less friction and more price transparency.
