There's a lot to like about private credit these days, according to Nuveen. "The private credit run isn't over yet," Saira Malik, the asset manager's chief investment officer and head of equities and fixed income, wrote in a recent report. How to invest While private credit is largely seen as an instrument for institutional investors, individual investors have also been moving into the space. "Over the next 10 years, I think the story is going to be much more about the democratization of private credit." Meanwhile, A-shares of the Franklin BSP Private Credit Fund have a $2,500 minimum investment and a 8.96% annualized distribution rate, as of Oct. 15.
