Investor Allocations To Private Debt To Continue Climbing Over 2018

Over a third (36%) of professional investors plan to increase their allocation to private debt in the next 12 months, according to a new study commissioned in Q4 2017 by Intertrust, a leading global provider of high-value trust, corporate and fund services.  

Of these, one in five (19%) said their allocation would increase significantly as many of the factors driving the growth of this asset class continue to remain largely in place over 2018 and beyond.  Assets under management in private debt funds have increased fourfold over the last decade to $595 billion by the end of 2016 and could reach $2.5 trillion in the next ten years.
