APAC private debt AUM sees steady growth
APAC’s private debt market, though smaller than North America’s, shouldn’t be overlooked. Assets under management (AUM) have grown steadily, exceeding previous projections, according to the Preqin Alternatives in APAC 2023 Report. As of September 2022, AUM stood at $94.8bn, up 28% from December 2021, and 56% from December 2020. Unlike the more mature North America and Europe private debt markets, where the relatively lower-risk direct lending strategy dominates, the APAC market mainly comprises of special situation and mezzanine funds, which together make up nearly 70% of private debt AUM as of September last year.
