“Our second consecutive year of record originations demonstrates our certainty of execution amidst a shifting market environment.”

2022 Highlights:

  • $12.9 billion of investment-grade investments, $2.6 billion of below-investment-grade investments; $584 million of mezzanine and private equity investments.
  • 102 new issuers across a range of industries added to the portfolio and 139 existing borrower companies returned for further funding.
  • $10.2 billion in Global Corporate Finance investments across North America, the U.K., Europe, Latin America and Australasia.
  • $4.7 billion in Real Assets business, including energy, power, infrastructure, and credit tenant lease financing.
  • $1.7 billion in Direct Lending investments, across 42 transactions.
  • Completed fundraising for PGIM Senior Loan Opportunities I, L.P., PGIM Private Capital’s inaugural Direct Lending fund.

PGIM Private Capital’s direct lending platform has continued to expand, maintaining strong origination activity globally. In 2022 the team closed their first direct lending investments in France and New Zealand, supporting a public to private transaction for Generix Group, a global provider of integrated software solutions in France, and Salus Aviation Limited, a specialist aviation group in New Zealand.

PGIM Private Capital’s Real Assets platform originated more than $2.7 billion in energy and power transactions, over $900 million in credit tenant lease transactions, and over $850 million across infrastructure investments, including a direct origination for Salaverry Terminal Internacional S.A., a maritime port facility in Peru.

Notably, the Paris team invested over $1 billion across 10 financings, marking a record year for the team.

Weaver continued, “As the investment landscape for 2023 continues to evolve, shaped by rising rates and inflation, our long-term, patient approach to lending continues to be well-positioned to support our borrowers and investors worldwide.”
