Private credit has evolved rapidly over the past decade, becoming one of the most in-demand asset classes for investors seeking diversification, income, and resilience in portfolios. Yet with this growth has come added complexity, from structural shifts in lending markets to new product innovations and heightened regulatory changes. 

In this episode, host Alecia DeCuollo introduces Private markets in motion, a new Mercer series tracking the key trends shaping capital flows. Joined by David Scopelliti, Global Head of Private Equity and Private Credit, and Tamsin Coleman, Head of Private Credit Europe, the discussion explores the findings of Mercer’s inaugural report on private debt, reflecting the insights of 57 global respondents managing over $2 trillion in assets.
