What the headlines are missing on private credit

Asset-backed credit is a well-established part of Australia’s lending market, but it operates quite differently from corporate and real estate private credit that has attracted much of the recent attention.

In this episode of In The Know, Simon Brinsmead from Barrenjoey is joined by Eric Williamson, Head of Private Credit Investments and Eva Zileli, Senior Fund Manager, Credit, from Barrenjoey Private Capital.

They explain how asset-backed lending works, the residential mortgages and other financial assets underpinning these investments, and the layers of protection built into securitisation structures. They also examine Australia’s non-bank lending sector, how they assess credit quality and risk, and the role asset-backed credit can play within a diversified portfolio.
