Private Credit FAQ's, answered.
What is private credit?
Private credit refers to non-bank lending where loans or credit are provided by private entities rather than traditional banks.This type of credit is often extended to companies that may not have access to public financing or prefer the flexibility of private arrangements. Private credit works through direct loans or investments made by private investors, hedge funds, private equity firms, or dedicated private credit funds to businesses or individuals. These loans can take various forms, including senior debt, mezzanine debt, and distressed debt.
Why is private credit growing?
Private credit is experiencing significant growth due to several factors:
- High Demand for Alternative Financing: Companies seeking flexible and swift financing options often prefer private credit over traditional bank loans.
- Attractive Returns: Investors are drawn to private credit for its potential to offer higher yields compared to traditional fixed-income investments.
- Economic Conditions: In low-interest-rate environments, private credit becomes an attractive option for investors looking for better returns.
- Regulatory Changes: Post-financial crisis regulations have limited banks' lending capacities, creating opportunities for private credit providers.
- Portfolio Diversification: Investors seek private credit for diversification, adding a different risk-return profile to their portfolios.
How do private credit funds work in commercial real estate?
Private credit funds in commercial real estate operate by pooling capital from multiple investors to provide loans to real estate projects. These funds can invest in various types of commercial real estate, including hotels, multifamily, office buildings, retail centers, and industrial properties. Investors can participate in private credit funds by buying shares or units of the fund.
- Investing in Private Credit Funds: Investors typically need to meet certain criteria, such as being accredited investors. They can invest through private placements or specialized investment platforms.
- Operations of Private Credit Funds: These funds manage the loan origination process, due diligence, and ongoing loan servicing, earning income through interest payments and fees.
How do private credit funds make money?
Private credit funds generate income primarily through:
- Interest Payments: The primary source of revenue is the interest charged on loans extended to borrowers.
- Origination Fees: Fees charged to borrowers for arranging and processing the loans.
- Management Fees: Fees paid by investors for managing the fund.
- Performance Fees: Some funds charge performance fees based on the returns generated.
What is private credit vs. private equity?
- Private Credit vs. Private Equity: While both involve investing in private companies, private credit refers to providing loans or credit, whereas private equity involves acquiring equity stakes in companies.
- Why Private Credit over Private Equity?: Private credit typically offers more predictable returns through interest payments and is often considered lower risk compared to the equity stakes that fluctuate with the company's performance.
Is direct lending private credit?
- Direct Lending as Private Credit: Yes, direct lending is a subset of private credit where lenders provide loans directly to borrowers without intermediaries like banks.
Is private credit the same as private debt?
- Private Credit vs. Private Debt: These terms are often used interchangeably, but private credit is a broader term encompassing all types of non-bank lending, including private debt.
- So is Private Debt the Same as Private Credit?: Yes, private debt is a type of private credit focusing specifically on debt instruments.
How big is the private credit market?
As of 2024, the private credit market continues to grow, with estimates suggesting it has surpassed $1.2 trillion in assets under management globally. This growth is fueled by increasing investor interest and the demand for alternative financing options.

Every Move Matters: Navigating the New Era of Commercial Real Estate
Market Insights Q1 2025 | At Peachtree, we've built our platform for this exact environment. With a fully integrated investment and credit platform, deep experience across market cycles, and flexible capital ready to deploy, we're well-positioned to take decisive action when others hesitate.
You don't think twice about skipping a workout or hitting snooze, until six months later when your back goes out lifting a suitcase. That's the thing about choices: they rarely shout. Most whisper. At the moment, they feel light, harmless, and even forgettable. But over time, they stack up and eventually shape everything.
It's the same in commercial real estate.
For years, the market rewarded financial engineering. Falling interest rates, cap rate compression and cheap capital allowed many investors to ride the momentum and still generate strong returns. That era is over.
We're now operating in a higher-for-longer environment. Interest rates are elevated, traditional lenders have pulled back, and capital markets are volatile. Macroeconomic disruptions, geopolitical risk and inflation-shifting trading policy are repricing risk in real time.
In this environment, every move matters. Every decision, whether to buy, sell, recapitalize or hold, carries more weight than it did even a year ago.
· Capital must be deployed with precision. The margin for error has narrowed. Mispricing risk, overleveraging,or relying on optimistic underwriting can quickly impair a deal.
· Liquidity is a strategic advantage.In a market where many lenders have pulled back or lowered leverage, execution certainty is no longer assumed. It's earned.
· Fundamentals, not financial engineering, define success. Cap rate compression is no longer the tailwind it once was. Returns must come from operational excellence, asset quality and disciplined management.
· Time is costly. In action can be just as damaging as a poor decision. Delays in refinancing or hesitation in uncertain markets can weigh heavily on performance.
At Peachtree, we've built our platform for this exact environment. With a fully integrated investment and credit platform, deep experience across market cycles, and flexible capital ready to deploy, we're well-positioned to take decisive action when others hesitate.
Because in this market, as inlife, every action has a weight and the most successful outcomes are born from clarity, discipline and conviction.
Private credit remains one of the most compelling solutions in today's market, offering downside protection, yield and flexibility. And with traditional capital still constrained, special situation investing is gaining momentum as a primary strategy to unlock value in a dislocated market.
As the landscape evolves, we continue to seek opportunities that leverage our strengths and provide value to our investors.
