Explore the Benefits of Private Credit Investing

If you study the capital flows and announcements of the world’s largest asset managers, you’ll notice that private credit has become one of the hottest asset classes of 2024.

With Percent, accredited investors like you can participate in this booming asset class and tap attributes like:

  • High yield potential (up to 20% APY) plus cash flow from monthly interest payments

  • The option to redeploy capital frequently with shorter-term investments

  • A wide swath of deals, ranging from small business loans, merchant cash advances, trade finance, consumer loans,  and more across the US, Canada, and Latin America

With the market at all-time highs, many investors turn to private credit because its returns are historically less correlated to public markets, which can stabilize a portfolio during a downturn.
