Dimon: Private Credit Losses Rising, Yet Not Systemic Threat
Jamie Dimon on private credit (via his annual shareholder letter): Actual losses right not are already a little higher than they should be, relative to the environment. "By and large, private credit does not tend to have great transparency or rigorous valuation 'marks' of their loans." He said at some point insurance regulators will insist on more rigorous ratings or markdowns and said if anything goes wrong, retail investors will seek remedy in courts. However, Dimon said private credit is "probably not" a systemic risk," due to its relatively small size in the broader credit market.
