Private credit direct lending in 2023 continues to offer opportunities for institutional investors seeking enhanced risk-adjusted returns, and PineBridge's outlook for the sector in general is favorable for the year. However, not all private credit direct-lending strategies are the same; current macro challenges mean it’s more important than ever to partner with an experienced private credit manager that can weather changing economic cycles.
Doug Lyons and Joe Taylor, who head PineBridge Private Credit’s origination and capital markets functions, respectively, discuss their conviction in the asset class and the lower-middle-market segment in particular.
