Every year, Preqin asks investors which developed markets they think are presenting the best opportunities in private debt. The US is the top market, although the 65% of investors who identified it is down from 77%. However, a number of other regions are attracting more interest. Among these are Western Europe (excluding the UK), and the Nordic region, where the number of investors thinking it presents good opportunities more than doubled from 15% to 31%.
