Q: What is private credit and what are the different types? Krishnan: Private credit is a form of lending outside of the traditional banking system, in which lenders work directly with borrowers to negotiate and originate privately held loans that are not traded in public markets.

'bbb' ratings denote good prospects for ongoing viability. The financial institution's fundamentals are adequate, such that there is a low risk that it would have to rely on extraordinary support to avoid default. However, adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.

The CRPR command provides access to current and historical credit ratings from multiple agencies. For definitions of rating scales, enter RATD <go>. Here, you will find ratings from S&P, Moody's, and Fitch. Features ratings from S&P and Moody's.

Private credit loans are placed into funds, business development companies (BDCs), and CLOs. They are not easily tradable, as are broadly syndicated loans.

Bonds with a rating of BBB- (on the Standard & Poor's and Fitch scale) or Baa3 (on Moody's) or better are considered "investment-grade." Bonds with lower ratings are considered "speculative" and often referred to as "high-yield" or "junk" bonds.

Private credit is where a non-bank lender provides loans to companies, typically to small and medium size enterprises that are non-investment grade. Private credit can serve as a diversifier in a private markets portfolio as debt is less correlated with equity markets.

A collateralized loan obligation (CLO) is a single security backed by a pool of debt. CLOs are often corporate loans with low credit ratings or loans taken out by private equity firms to conduct leveraged buyouts.

Private credit involves an investment in non-publically traded securities which are subject to illiquidity risk. Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) may involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale to qualified investors only.
