Private credit executives defended their software loan exposures this week after scrutiny of Blue Owl's tech-focused funds and rising redemption requests. Fitch reported industry-wide redemptions nearly tripled to 4.5% of fund net asset value in Q4 2025, with Blue Owl's fund at 15.4%; firms said software loans represent a small share of AUM and noted low loan-to-value ratios as cushions.

- 2Highlight concentration risk: software equals about 30% of leveraged lending, increasing sector vulnerability to AI disruption.
- 3Prompt risk mitigation: firms cite low loan-to-value ratios and small AUM shares to reassure investors.
