Growing Market
Asset Based Credit Recruitment
As the private direct lending market becomes increasingly crowded, asset managers are looking to expand into asset-based private credit. Asset-based lending is highly structured and most common in sectors with significant physical or financial assets. For example, asset-backed lending is often seen in real estate, aviation, and small to medium enterprises where loans can be secured by a portfolio of receivables.
With the private credit market projected to double in value over the next few years, asset managers and hedge funds are working to expand their presence in the markets. HW Anderson, as a leading asset based credit recruitment specialist, consistently places talented candidates within the credit market as we leverage our robust network of talent within structured finance and asset-based credit.
