PGIM Private Capital highlights why private credit will be a key beneficiary and where it sees the most attractive opportunities.
PGIM Private Credit’s Matthew Harvey shares his perspective on private credit and why private credit is attractive for long-term investors.
PGIM Private Capital shares notable recent market developments and how it’s well-positioned to take advantage of the evolution of the direct lending landscape.
1Private credit is represented by the Cliffwater Direct Lending Index, with inception date of 9/30/2015. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
2 Structural benefits refer to credit enhancement and deal structures that protect investors, such as control rights that are typically held by the senior note holders, or guarantor in insured transactions, that will determine the extent to which underlying asset performance can be influenced upon non-performance to improve the revenues available to cover debt service.
3 PGIM Private Capital, the private credit arm of PGIM Private Credit Fund’s subadvisor, manages $102 Billion of private credit and equity AUM in nearly 1,000 companies worldwide.
The Fund invests in debt instruments, which may be unsecured and structurally or contractually subordinated to substantial amounts of senior indebtedness, all or a significant portion of which may be secured; "covenant-lite” obligations which may carry more risk than a covenant-heavy loan made by the same borrower, as it does not require the borrower to provide affirmation that certain specific financial tests have been satisfied on a routine basis as is required under a covenant-heavy loan agreement; below investment grade securities, which have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal; original issue discount or payment-in-kind (“PIK”) instruments may be exposed to risks associated with the requirement to include such non-cash income in taxable and accounting income prior to receipt of cash; non-performing debt, which are debt instruments that the Fund may invest that may be or become nonperforming and possibly in default; distressed/defaulted securities, which are securities of companies that subsequently become involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings, and that may face pending covenant violations or significant debt maturities; and non-U.S. investments, which may include investments denominated in U.S. dollars or in non-U.S. currencies and may involve a broad range of economic, non-U.S. currency and exchange rate, political, legal, tax and financial risks not typically associated with investments in U.S. companies.
Loans that the Fund may invest in include loans that are first lien, second lien, third lien or that are unsecured. In addition, the loans the Fund will invest in will usually be rated below investment grade or may also be unrated. Loans are subject to credit risk, liquidity risk, below investment grade instruments risk and management risk. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, options contracts, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, indexed securities, credit linked notes, credit default swaps and other swap agreements for hedging, investment, risk management, or leverage purposes, or to manage exchange rates or the duration of the Fund’s portfolio. Derivative transactions may subject the Fund to increased risk of principal loss due to imperfect correlation between the values of the derivatives and the underlying securities or unexpected price or interest rate movements. Th Fund’s subadvisor will originate loans on behalf of the Fund. Loan origination involves a number of particular risks that may not exist in the case of secondary debt purchases. There can be no assurance that the subadviser and the Fund will correctly evaluate the value of the assets collateralizing these loans or the prospects for successful repayment or a successful reorganization or similar action. Loans to private companies involve risks that may not exist in the case of more established and/or publicly traded companies.
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk, in which general interest rate fluctuations may have a substantial negative impact on the Fund’s investments and investment opportunities and, accordingly, may have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and the rate of return on invested capital; prepayment risk that the investments it makes may be repaid prior to maturity; and liquidity risk in which the Fund’s shares constitute illiquid investments for which there is not, and will likely not be, a secondary market at any time prior to a public offering and listing of our shares on a national securities exchange. There can be no guarantee that we will conduct a public offering and list our shares on a national securities exchange. Investment in the Fund is suitable only for sophisticated investors and requires the financial ability and willingness to accept the high risks and lack of liquidity inherent in an investment in the Fund. Except in limited circumstances for legal or regulatory purposes, shareholders are not entitled to redeem their shares.
Shareholders must be prepared to bear the economic risk of an investment in our shares for an extended period of time. The use of borrowings, also known as leverage, increases the volatility of investments by magnifying the potential for loss on invested equity capital. If the Fund uses leverage to partially finance its investments, through borrowing from banks and other lenders, investors will experience increased risks of investing in the Fund’s shares. The Fund may be required to obtain various state licenses in order to, among other things, originate commercial loans, and may be required to obtain similar licenses from other authorities, including outside of the United States, in the future in connection with one or more investments. There is no assurance that we will obtain all of the licenses that we need on a timely basis. Furthermore, we will be subject to various information and other requirements in order to obtain and maintain these licenses, and there is no assurance that we will satisfy those requirements. Our failure to obtain or maintain licenses might restrict investment options and have other adverse consequences.
