[wpdm_package id=’51234′]

Investor demand for private debt is strong, with funds exceeding targets by record margins in 2021. The average percentage of target size at final close last year reached 120%, a sharp contrast to 2020 when the average final close was 98% of target size. Even compared to pre-pandemic fundraising, the only year that came close was 2014, when the average final close was 115% of target size. Competition amongst private debt funds may intensify, particularly given the shortage or opportunities during the pandemic due to stimulus measures.
