Private debt represents a substantial piece of the global private capital markets. It comprises 10%-15% of total assets under management. The majority of private middle-market companies carry debt, and investor demand for debt funds is increasing because many consider it to be less risky than other private market allocation strategies. To avoid dilution, more companies are also choosing to take on debt rather than exchanging equity for capital.
In this increasingly competitive landscape with growing debt assets, new players and increased private debt demand, it’s never been more important to map the flow of capital, track industry trends and identify the most active lenders and companies in your target space before executing a deal.
PitchBook’s comprehensive private debt and lenders dataset provides detailed information on thousands of lenders, debt transactions and companies with debt—including granular data like loan issuance and maturity dates, spread and interest rates, debt amounts and debt-to-equity ratios—so you can connect with the right ones to work with faster. Fueled by our research process, we’re always improving our data coverage and platform.
