Why Private Credit Isn’t a Bubble

Описание: Private credit is growing fast. Critics call it a bubble. The structure tells a different story.

In this clip, Will Dunham, CEO of the American Investment Council, explains why private credit has expanded and why he sees it as a positive force for the American economy. As banks retreat from certain types of lending, private credit has stepped in to fill a real financing gap, driven by organic demand rather than speculation.

Crucially, private credit funds are equity-funded, not built on leverage-on-leverage. That’s why Dunham argues private credit is not systemic risk, but often the opposite, providing patient capital and long-term partnership to businesses that need growth funding but aren’t ready to sell.

A clear, technical reset on one of the most misunderstood areas of private markets.
