The private debt asset class has grown rapidly since the global financial crisis. Despite rising rates, structural changes within the banking sector will continue to drive the development of this asset class, according to a new white paper from UBP's private markets specialists. New sub-asset classes are emerging that offer diversification and relative value compared with public bonds and sponsor-backed direct lending.
