Private credit funds haven’t reached close to their peak and opportunistic strategies in the private capital sector will continue to grow in the next ten years, according to Marathon Asset Management Chief Executive Officer Bruce Richards.

Richards responded to a question about whether private credit has hit a plateau, following comments from JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon earlier this week that the market may have “hit a peak.”
