Private Debt Intelligence – 3/20/2023
Private debt allocation intentions hit seven-year high
Institutional investors are satisfied with their private debt allocations and plan to increase them, according to the latest survey for the latest Preqin Investor Outlook. A growing number of investors surveyed by Preqin aim to boost their long-term allocations to private debt, with the proportion saying they will increase allocations rising from 47% in 2021 to 63% in 2022 – the highest level in seven years. This trend may lead to a strong fundraising market in 2023, with investors balancing a preference for secured senior debt exposure, with opportunities to generate high returns from higher-risk strategies such as mezzanine and distressed debt.
