PRIVATE CREDIT EUROPE

Intelligence for European credit markets

About Private Credit Europe

The essential weekly publication for GPs, LPs, and credit professionals navigating Europe's dynamic private credit markets.

Our Mission

Private Credit Europe serves the growing community of professionals who allocate capital, structure deals, and manage risk across Europe's private credit landscape. From London's direct lending desks to Frankfurt's infrastructure debt teams to Paris's distressed credit specialists, we cover the intelligence that matters.

We believe that timely, accurate market intelligence is essential for sound credit decisions. Through rigorous deal coverage, fund performance analysis, and regulatory tracking, we help LPs evaluate managers, GPs source opportunities, and credit analysts understand market dynamics across European private credit.

What We Cover

Direct Lending & Unitranche

Sponsor-backed financings, unitranche structures, and bilateral deals across European middle market and large-cap segments. We track deal terms, leverage multiples, pricing spreads, and covenant structures.

Fund Launches & Fundraising

New fund launches, closes, and LP commitments across direct lending, distressed, infrastructure debt, and specialty strategies. We cover target sizes, deployment timelines, and LP base composition.

Regulation & Policy

ECB credit monitoring, Basel IV implementation, AIFMD updates, and cross-border regulatory developments. We track how policy changes affect fund structures, leverage limits, and bank-nonbank dynamics.

Distressed & Special Situations

Restructurings, NPL portfolio sales, distressed-for-control situations, and special situations credit. We cover creditor negotiations, recovery rates, and the workout specialists driving European restructuring activity.

Infrastructure Debt

Project financings, infrastructure debt funds, and long-duration credit across energy, transport, digital infrastructure, and social infrastructure. We track deal structures, credit ratings, and institutional demand.

Real Estate Debt

Whole loans, mezzanine financings, and commercial real estate credit across logistics, office, residential, and hospitality sectors. We cover loan-to-value trends, refinancing activity, and non-bank lending growth.

Market Data & Analysis

Spread trends, default rates, recovery statistics, and fund performance benchmarks. We analyze the data that helps LPs assess managers and GPs calibrate market positioning.

Our Standards

Every article in Private Credit Europe is reported with accuracy and appropriate sourcing. We verify deal terms with multiple parties, contextualize market developments with historical data, and maintain editorial independence from fund sponsors.

We cover European private credit comprehensively—the challenging situations as well as the successful exits, the fundraising struggles alongside the oversubscribed closes. Credit professionals rely on honest, rigorous analysis to make sound allocation decisions.
