Global private credit market expansion

Overview

The private credit sector is experiencing significant growth as a major alternative investment strategy. Driven by tighter banking regulations and a demand for yield diversification, assets under management have risen from approximately $300–$400 billion around 2010 to over $2 trillion. Projections suggest the market could reach between $3.5 trillion and $5 trillion by 2030.

While major asset managers are launching products to increase access to private markets, financial advisors have reported declining confidence in explaining these investments, with Morningstar research indicating a drop from 68% in 2025 to 61%. Concerns regarding fees and transparency also persist among advisors.

To facilitate access, firms such as Morgan Stanley have introduced model portfolios including allocations to private credit, real estate, and infrastructure. In Central Europe, platforms like Bondster are connecting institutional and retail investors with licensed non-bank lenders, often utilizing real estate as collateral.
