Private Credit Investment grade private credit solutions for global institutional investors Our PhilosophyWe believe investment grade private credit can offer investors potential advantages that go beyond public fixed income, including increased yields, structural protections and diversification. Investment Grade Private Credit at Loomis Sayles Established in 2022, the Loomis Sayles Private Credit Group focuses on underwriting investments in the corporate, infrastructure, project, and specialty finance sectors of the investment grade private credit market. Backed by Loomis Sayles’ recognized expertise in fundamental research and its global reputation as a highly respected fixed income manager, the Private Credit Group seeks to tap into the expanding investment grade private credit opportunity set brought about by the growth of the specialty finance subset to offer potentially higher yielding and increased diversification opportunities to insurance and other institutional investors. An Evolving Opportunity SetInvestment grade private credit has expanded beyond private placements. We believe today's specialty finance market can help investors access a broader, richer opportunity set, potentially resulting in higher yields and greater diversification.Charts are shown for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice.
