Private credit has emerged as one of the most attractive asset classes in Asia’s institutional portfolios. With traditional fixed income struggling to deliver real returns, investors are turning to direct lending, mezzanine financing, and structured credit to enhance yield.

As regulations evolve and regional managers grow in sophistication, private credit is expected to play a central role in long-term portfolio construction for Asia’s asset owners.
