Private Credit Triggers Broad Financial Market Concern
|
7.1
Private credit—nonbank lending by private-equity firms and similar funds—is causing investor panic this year after recent borrower bankruptcies and Blue Owl's February asset sale; the sector is estimated at about $3 trillion. Major managers' shares (Blue Owl, KKR, Apollo, Blackstone) have tumbled and banks hold roughly $300 billion of exposure, raising fears of retiree losses and broader financial contagion.
