🗓 DAILYNK | Latin America's Private Credit Market Is Large in Opportunity, Early in Scale

Latin America faces an estimated $650 billion annual financing gap across infrastructure, energy transition, logistics, and corporate investment, according to a June 2026 analysis published by the CFA Institute. The capital to fill it is not coming from traditional banks — regulatory constraints have progressively limited their appetite for complex lending across the region — and public markets remain too shallow for the majority of mid-market borrowers.

Private credit has moved into that space, but the numbers reveal how early the story still is: the asset class currently represents less than 1% of corporate lending in Latin America.
The gap between opportunity and current scale is the defining feature of the market. Private credit funds raised $800 million for Latin America strategies in 2025 — a fraction of the $356 billion raised globally, and well below the region's 7% share of global GDP.

Infrastructure is where the structural case is clearest: renewable energy projects, transport concessions, telecom towers, and water systems require long-duration capital that banks are structurally unable or unwilling to provide, and private credit has become a primary source of financing against contracted or regulated cash flows.

According to Global Private Capital Association data, $29 billion in private credit has been deployed across Latin America since 2021, with local capital increasingly driving dedicated regional funds alongside global allocators.
For global allocators building emerging market exposure, the arithmetic is straightforward.

A market representing less than 1% of regional corporate lending, in an economy generating 7% of global GDP, with a $650 billion annual financing gap, is a market with structural room to grow for a long time.

The capital entering Latin America's private credit market today is not chasing a trend. It is entering ahead of one.

🗓 DAILYNK | In the Secondary Market, Price Has Become an Argument for Buying

For much of 2022 and 2023, the secondary market was defined by distressed sellers and wide discounts. That dynamic has reversed. Buyout private equity stakes traded at 94% of net asset value in the first half of 2025 — up from less than 90% in 2022 — according to Evercore's 2025 Secondary Market Survey. Total secondary transaction volume reached a record $226 billion in 2025, a 41% increase year-over-year, with LP-led volume rising to $120 billion and GP-led transactions reaching $106 billion. The market that spent two years repricing has spent the past twelve months rerating.

The composition of that volume tells a more nuanced story. Private credit secondaries nearly doubled to $20 billion in 2025, with GP-led transactions surpassing LP-led deals for the first time — a signal that credit managers are actively using secondary structures to optimize portfolios, recycle capital, and offer LPs structured liquidity, rather than simply responding to redemption pressure. Dedicated secondary dry powder entering 2026 stands at an estimated $215 billion, with fundraising targets at all-time highs of $218 billion.

According to Evercore, the market enters 2026 with structural demand intact and a broadening opportunity set that now spans buyout, credit, infrastructure, and venture strategies.
For LPs holding private fund stakes acquired in 2020 or 2021, the pricing recovery changes the calculus. Selling today is a portfolio management decision, not a distressed one.

And for buyers, improved pricing transparency and a broader universe of assets coming to market create a more legible entry point than the market has offered in years.

Five years of volume growth and a full pricing cycle later, the secondary market has earned its place as a standard tool in private portfolio construction.

Latin America is sitting on a USD 650 billion annual financing gap — and private credit addresses less than 1% of it. That's not a risk story. That's an opportunity story that most global allocators are missing entirely.

Our latest whitepaper, "The Creditor's Frontier: Private Credit in Latin America,"unpacks the perception gap between sovereign macro volatility and actual credit risk, the structural dynamics driving yields north of 20%, and the practical pathways to access this asset class. If you're serious about where private credit goes next, this one's for you.

🗓 DAILYNK | Private Equity's Deployment Cycle Has Quietly Begun

For three years, the defining constraint in private equity was not capital — it was conditions. That is changing. Global PE-backed exit value increased 41% in 2025 to $1.3 trillion, the second-highest year on record, and IPO exit value nearly doubled year-over-year to more than $320 billion, according to @McKinsey's Global Private Markets Report 2026. Stabilizing rates, recovering M&A pipelines, and a reopened IPO window have combined to create a more legible environment for dealmakers than at any point since 2021.

The LP data confirms a parallel shift in conviction. In McKinsey's January 2026 survey of 300 global limited partners, approximately 70% reported plans to maintain or increase their private equity allocations this year, a level of institutional commitment that held steady through rate volatility, geopolitical disruption, and compressed exit windows.
@BainandCompany 's Global Private Equity Report 2026 reinforces the picture: deal and exit values surged in 2025, and the setup for continued activity in 2026 is more favorable than at any point in the past three years. Funds with disciplined underwriting and genuine operational value creation capabilities are entering this cycle with a structural edge over those that relied on multiple expansion alone.

For allocators building or expanding private equity exposure, the implication is concrete. The recovery is visible in exit data, LP surveys, and deal pipelines. Vintage selection and manager quality matter more than macro timing at this stage.

The deployment window LPs spent three years waiting for is open. Positioning is the work now.

🗓 DAILYNK | Evergreen Strategies: Five Years of Uninterrupted Net Inflows

Evergreen private equity strategies posted positive net flows for 60 consecutive months through December 2025: five uninterrupted years that span rate hikes, market corrections, and geopolitical volatility, according to @neubergerberman 's Private Markets Outlook 1H 2026. Evergreen direct lending strategies matched that pace in 59 of those 60 months.

The data settles a debate that ran through much of the past decade: whether semi-liquid and evergreen structures could hold up through a complete market cycle, or whether the liquidity mismatch would trigger redemption pressure at the first sign of stress.

The answer is empirical now. Neuberger Berman also notes that private equity capital is concentrating among larger, more experienced managers — in 2025, firms with at least $5 billion in AUM captured roughly half of all capital raised, the highest share since 2008.

For wealth managers still deciding which fund structures to anchor their alternatives offering around, the five-year flow record provides a data point that no fund document can replicate.

The structure has been tested across a full cycle. The capital confirmed it.

🪙$226 billion. That is what the secondary market for private assets transacted in 2025 — a 48% surge and the third consecutive record. Analysts see a clear path to $300 billion within 24 months. Secondaries are no longer a niche exit of last resort. They are now a standard tool for managing private markets portfolios — and every advisor and family office serving the Americas needs to understand them.

🗓 DAILYNK | Venture Capital Is Back at Scale — and AI Is Leading the Charge

Global venture capital deal value reached $512 billion in 2025, the second-highest annual total on record, with artificial intelligence accounting for more than half of total deal value and nearly one third of all completed transactions worldwide, according to the Q4 2025 PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor.

The momentum carried into 2026. Q1 alone produced $267.2 billion in deal value, exceeding every full-year total in the asset class's history except for 2021 and 2025, a signal that deployment has shifted from cautious to decisive. Exit value hit $347.3 billion in Q1, the highest single quarter on record.
More than half of Q1 megadeals involved AI companies, and the market value of AI startups is now second only to SaaS globally. LP capital is concentrating around established managers with proven track records, reinforcing the case for disciplined manager selection as the primary driver of venture returns.

The window that opened after the 2022–2023 reset is now closing. Allocators who used the correction to build exposure to high-quality venture managers are entering a deployment cycle with historic momentum behind it.

🗓 DAILYNK | HNW Investors Have Already Moved

The traditional 60/40 portfolio is no longer the benchmark for high-net-worth investors. According to Long Angle's 2026 High-Net-Worth Asset Allocation Study, which surveyed investors with an average net worth of $17 million, the current allocation model looks more like 60-10-30: 60% public equities, 10% bonds and cash, and 31% private and alternative assets.

Ninety-four percent of respondents already allocate to private or alternative assets. Exposure rises with wealth: from 24% of the portfolio in the $2M–$10M bracket to 34% for those above $25M . Within the alternatives sleeve, real estate leads on adoption, but private equity, private credit, and venture capital are growing in weight as net worth scales.

The shift isn't directional: it's already happened. Now, the question for wealth managers is whether their platform can meet investors where they already are.

💡90% of advisors now allocate to alternatives.

That used to be the headline. Now it's the floor.
In our latest article we look at what comes next: when access stops being the differentiator, execution becomes the edge.

🗓 DAILYNK | The Real AI Trade May Be in Private

Public equity portfolios are increasingly anchored in a handful of AI-linked mega caps. Private markets offer a different entry point into the same theme, according to @hamilton_lane 's 2026 Market Overview.

The firm notes that public markets remain concentrated in large language model infrastructure: chips, data centers, and the hyperscalers building them. Private markets, by contrast, invest across the full AI application stack: the tools, integrations, and platforms that make AI work at scale across industries.

For allocators already concerned about concentration risk in their public portfolios, private markets are not just an alternative. They are a more diversified way to access the same structural growth story.

🗓 DAILYNK | Private Credit's Decade: From Niche to Mainstream

Private credit has grown from $500 billion to over $2.1 trillion in assets under management in less than a decade, according to the @IMFNews 's World Economic Outlook published in April 2026.

The growth is not accidental. As banks pulled back from corporate lending after the 2008 financial crisis, private credit managers stepped in offering flexible, tailored financing to companies that traditional lenders could no longer serve efficiently.

Today, wealth managers globally are increasingly using private credit as a fixed income alternative. The yields are higher, the structures more varied, and the access points more available than ever before.

A decade ago, this was an institutional product. Today, it is becoming a core allocation for a much broader universe of investors.

🗓 DAILYNK | Record Dry Powder Signals a New Deployment Cycle for Private Equity

Global private equity dry powder reached $3.9 trillion in 2025 — a record high — according to @BainandCompany's Global Private Equity Report 2026.

The capital is there. What has been missing is the right conditions to deploy it. As rate uncertainty stabilizes and exit markets reopen, managers are moving from a posture of caution to one of selective but accelerating deployment.

For investors, the implications are concrete. Funds with strong deal flow and disciplined underwriting are entering a cycle where the combination of available capital, improving credit conditions, and a recovering exit market creates a more favorable setup than at any point in the past three years.

A new question arises: when private equity moves, who will be best positioned to take advantage?
