The 2017 private credit vintage formed late in the credit cycle, when spreads were tightening and traditional direct lending had become increasingly competitive. Managers that stood out during this period were those willing to pursue complexity, distressed businesses, sector dislocations, structured credit, and bespoke capital solutions. As volatility returned in the years that followed, funds with flexible mandates and disciplined underwriting were positioned to take advantage of market resets and liquidity gaps.
