Family offices are becoming a significant factor in the private credit markets. But many don’t have the origination capacity nor the expertise to underwrite them. For the larger family offices I work with, there is a resistance to investing in funds where they have no say in the selection of their assets , and as we all know , they are reluctant to pay the fees which in many cases as it pertains to debt funds , take their after tax returns to unatttactive levels So, what to do? Well, in early growth capital, there is little to no desire of leading a transaction amongst family offices Family offices generally like to co-invest alongside an established manager who structures the deal, performs due diligence , and forms the syndicate for the investment. And this is the model I am using for private credit. So, if you are a private credit fund looking for family offices co-lenders , I’d love to see if I can help. If you are a family office and want to invest in private credit debt, I am creating low cost spv’s where you choose the loans to invest in and the after tax returns are attractive as they are not eaten up by high fees . Problem solved (I think!!)

Private credit offers a valuable alternative for companies looking to raise capital without giving up too much equity. We are seeing more and more of it. With banks pulling back on lending, it looks like private credit is filling the gap and is now a $1.7 trillion market—and growing. Finding the right private credit partner can make all the difference. From the legal seat, we often are interacting with a founder one one call, and then a private capital partner on the next.

PitchBook -- Public PE firms ride rising tide of private credit "Private credit may be a silver lining for the largest PE firms, especially when their bread-and-butter buyout businesses face a challenging environment. Private credit portfolios held by seven listed PE managers—KKR, Blackstone, Apollo Global Management, Ares Management, The Carlyle Group, Blue Owl and TPG—produced a median gross return of 16.4% for 2023. In comparison, their PE strategies achieved a median gross return of 9.8% for the same period . . . an improvement following 2022’s low of 5.2%. Apollo appears to be the most active proponent of private credit. The firm reported $97 billion in debt originations for the entirety of 2023, with $30 billion generated in Q4 alone. Apollo’s private credit portfolios, which include corporate direct lending and asset-based financing, yielded a gross return of 19.8% in 2023, outpacing the other GPs. Over the past two years, private credit has gained greater traction with investors. In Q4, the seven public managers raised $168.7 billion for all strategies combined—with credit alone fetching 59%." https://lnkd.in/ecFy__tm
