Wall Street forms super teams to fight for $1.7 trillion private credit market

Big banks and private equity firms are forming partnerships to tap into the $1.7 trillion private credit market. Citigroup and Apollo Global Management have announced a $25 billion fund for direct lending, marking a significant collaboration in finance. This trend of banks collaborating with private lenders is growing as more lending activities shift away from traditional banks, which are restricted due to regulations and risk management. Despite the benefits of these alliances, concerns about the growth of private credit and the associated risks remain prevalent among industry leaders.
