Private Credit Is Booming; Banks Want Back In
Once satisfied with their dominant position in commercial lending from the middle market through the large cap, public syndicated market, banks have suffered significant erosion of market share at the hands of private credit (i.e., “direct lending”) competitors. With a wide range of firms leading the “golden age” of private credit, banks increasingly want back in and are employing a variety of strategies to get there. With the addressable U.S. market for private credit nearing $2.0 trillion (still a fraction of the public market), banks are ever more eager to participate in private credit’s one-stop lending solution that is one of the fastest growing businesses on Wall Street. Over the past several years, high-profile partnerships and other collaborations among banks and private credit firms have been announced at a brisk pace. Such activity is likely to continue.

ESG in finance can refer to, among other things, financing tools such as Green, Social, and Sustainability Bonds and similar ESG-related debt instruments, as well as the separate discipline of ESG Investing. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Investors are increasingly applying these non-financial factors as part of their analysis to identify ESG-related risks and opportunities in particular investments. ESG metrics have not historically been included in financial reporting, though companies are increasingly making disclosures in their annual report or in a standalone sustainability report, and regulatory requirements for such disclosures, including from the SEC, are expanding.
