Defaults in Fitch’s PMM portfolio persisted at a low level in 4Q23 with two issuers defaulting, bringing the year’s total to 15 defaults across 10 issuers on a portfolio of around 275 companies. For reference, following a sharp increase in defaults across approximately 20 issuers in each of 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic, defaults were largely subdued in 2022, when eight issuers defaulted.
