Coffee with Bill: Private Credit Is Testing the System
The private credit market has evolved from niche strategy to cornerstone of global capital markets. But scale doesn’t remove risk — it concentrates it.
Walking the halls of the ABS conference, one thing was impossible to ignore: beneath the confident panels and record fundraising numbers, there was a quiet tension surrounding the $3+ trillion private credit market. Direct lending now rivals the syndicated loan market. Issuance continues to expand. Liquidity feels stable. Spreads remain tight.
That combination should sound familiar.
The real question isn’t how large private credit has become. It’s whether investors truly understand the collateral underneath the yield, where they sit in the capital stack, and how those structures behave when liquidity shifts.
Markets rarely break where people are looking. They break where complexity replaces clarity. This isn’t a prediction of a crash. It’s a reminder of something far simpler — know what you own.
