Private Credit has rapidly expanded, filling the gap left by traditional sources of financing as a reliable source of capital across market cycles. The challenges of 2022-2023 highlighted the strength of private credit, providing liquidity when the public markets were closed.
CVC-CRED primarily invests in privately negotiated senior secured loans, that benefit from a secured position within the capital structure.
The European private credit market offers attractive risk-adjusted returns, driven by its unique local dynamics, diverse geographies which only select, specialist managers with deep infrastructure can tap into.
CVC-CRED benefits from its ability to utilise the CVC Network and the firm’s position as the largest private equity manager in Europe to aide sourcing and due diligence throughout the investment process.
Whilst the European private credit market is smaller than the U.S, it is a compelling landscape from an investment perspective due to its attractive pricing and conservative underwriting which only limited managers can access.
