Exploring Private Credit 2019 | TC Transcontinental | 5 March 2019 |

While interest rates have risen from their historic lows, they remain incredibly low. Investors have been drawn to higher yielding fixed income instruments, especially private credit, in an effort to improve overall returns. Private credit is a catch-all term for fixed income that is not publicly traded and can include commercial mortgages, direct lending, infrastructure debt and real estate debt. While these instruments do provide access to a higher overall return (compared to public fixed income), they also often utilize leverage, with credit quality varying, depending on their place in the capital structure. How do investors determine which of these instruments makes sense for them? How should they think about leverage and credit quality? This session is designed to help investors navigate the private credit landscape, providing definitions and considerations for the four main investment categories.
