According to Percent’s 2024 private credit outlook, amidst an uncertain future environment, the economy has held steady and private credit continues to be top choice for alternative financing, with the asset class now standing at $1.3 trillion in assets under management.
According to a study from private credit platform Percent, 63% of asset managers, hedge funds and wealth managers intend to increase their allocations to private credit due to predictions that the asset class will outperform other investment opportunities.
