“This year has seen continued high demand for private credit solutions as other sources of finance have become more scarce. The ability to originate loans directly with companies gives us a unique insight into the condition of middle-market companies, and it’s clear that the need for private credit is significant and growing,” said Matt Douglass, senior managing director and head of PGIM Private Capital. “In spite of volatile markets and a challenging macroeconomic background, our teams’ experience through multiple credit cycles and a stable capital base has allowed us to both be a reliable source of capital for businesses worldwide and provide quality investment opportunities for our investors.”
First-Half 2023 Highlights:
$4.5 billion of investment-grade investments, $1.8 billion of below-investment-grade investments, $352 million of mezzanine and private equity investments.

$3.7 billion in Global Corporate Finance investments across North America, the U.K., Europe, Latin America and Australasia.
