Alternative Fund Advisors Releases RIA Private Credit Usage Study, Confirming Continued Growth in the Asset Class
BOSTON, April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Alternative Fund Advisors ("AFA") has released findings from its recent RIA Private Credit Usage Study, which provides insights into how registered investment advisors (RIAs) are integrating private credit into client portfolios. The study garnered responses from investment professionals across firms of all sizes.
Findings confirm that private credit has become a mainstream asset class among RIAs with 80% of firms revealing that they already allocate to private credit, or plan to make their first private credit investment in 2025. What's more, 45% of firms allocate more than 5% of a typical client portfolio to the asset class and, 82% of firms plan to increase allocations with many adding new funds.
"We believe the importance of private credit in client portfolios will only increase in 2025 and beyond," said Marco Hanig, CEO and co-founder of Alternative Fund Advisors. "Our survey findings validated a trend that we're seeing in the market—firms have moved beyond owning a single private credit fund. They are now utilizing multiple funds and intentionally diversifying across various sub-segments of the market."
The AFA study outlines seven key themes for private credit allocators and the broader industry to consider as they look ahead to 2025.
