Here's Why Retail Investors Are Fleeing Private Credit
About this episode
The episode discusses the recent trend of retail investors withdrawing from private credit funds and the implications for the industry.
Investors tried to pull around $13 billion out of private credit funds in the first three months of 2026, forcing many big firms to enforce limits on withdrawals. Private credit firms have spent years courting retail investors, as the industry has grown into a $1.8 trillion market. So what's changed? Our Managing Editor for private companies' coverage Neil Callanan joins Stephen Carroll to discuss. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
