Private Credit’s Next Wave: Corporate Lending, Asset-Based Finance and the Data Infrastructure Connecting Them

Private credit is entering its next phase of growth. Although the term was long used as shorthand for corporate direct lending, the market is broadening into asset-based finance, including financing supported by consumer receivables, mortgages, equipment, contractual cash flows and infrastructure assets.
