Higher Interest Rates Create Opportunities for Private Credit Lenders
- Market Opportunity Analysis: Kevin Marchetti, head of U.S. direct lending at Man Group, stated that despite the 'growing pains' in the private credit sector, the high interest rate environment presents attractive opportunities for disciplined private credit lenders, particularly in the core middle market.
