Peachtree Group Acquires $330M+ in Loans as Credit Markets Shift

ATLANTA (April 20, 2026) – Peachtree Group announced it has acquired over $330 million in loans year-to-date from U.S. banking institutions and private lenders which includes a lender finance transaction secured by portfolios of loans.

The activity shows an increasing opportunity set as banks reduce exposure to certain commercial and private lending relationships, creating openings for well-capitalized platforms to provide liquidity. Peachtree acquired a position tied to an underlying loan portfolio, highlighting an emerging opportunity to access real estate-backed credit both through direct originations and stepping into financing relationships previously held by banks.

This builds on the company’s 2025 activity, when Peachtree acquired approximately $570 million in loans.

“While recent coverage has focused on stress in parts of the private credit ecosystem, we are seeing fundamentally sound loans come to market as banks and lenders de-risk,” said Greg Friedman, CEO of Peachtree. "Our platform is built for exactly this environment where we can step into complexity, price risk appropriately and provide liquidity as traditional lenders retrench.”

Year-to-date activity has been driven by direct sourcing from regional banking partners and private lenders seeking to reduce exposure or improve liquidity, with many transactions backed by high-quality underlying commercial real estate assets.

Traditional lenders are steadily focused on lowering overall portfolio exposure and limiting concentration to any single relationship, further expanding the opportunity set for private capital.

More broadly, institutional capital continues to support private credit growth with a longer-term focus that is less sensitive to short-term market dislocation and emphasizes consistent income and downside protection. This dynamic helps reinforce liquidity across the market, even as some segments adjust.

Peachtree structures its capital to align with the duration of its underlying investments, reducing the risk of liquidity mismatches and enabling the firm to invest during periods of market volatility. This approach provides flexible solutions to banks and private lenders seeking to rebalance exposure without forced selling.
