Private Markets in Motion

Discover how asset managers around the world are thinking about the future of the private debt industry.
“Private Markets in Motion” is Mercer’s new thought leadership series showcasing private markets’ key trends and capital flows in a different asset class each quarter. We aim to advance the discussion on the future evolution of private markets, particularly in guiding the industry towards a more distinctive and consistent approach in service of well-defined outcomes for asset owners.
Our first report focuses on private debt, a timely contribution given the continuing growth of the private Debt market globally. This study compiles the views of 57 respondents worldwide with more than $2tn in assets under management (AUM), asking for their insights on the current private debt space1.
“Global private debt assets are now measured in the trillions, and with an estimated $90 trillion in financing needs forecast for the US alone over the next decade, we see it holding an ever more critical role within institutional portfolios, particularly as it becomes a more mainstream and diversified asset class.”
