Global Investors Back Private Credit at Invest Hong Kong as 2025 Defaults Fail to Dent Appetite

Summary
BlackRock, Granite Asia Capital and other firms told Bloomberg’s Invest Hong Kong event that investor demand for private credit remains strong despite last year’s high-profile defaults.
Executives argued worries about the sector are overstated because private credit is becoming more important as traditional stock-and-bond portfolios struggle to hit long-term return targets.
Across Asia, they pitched the asset class as a way to fund both fast-growing innovators and older businesses adapting to AI-driven change, rather than a narrow bet on technology alone.
Speakers also pointed to adjacent themes including China’s consumers, quantum computing and nuclear energy, underscoring a broader hunt for the region’s next upside.
