It's time to move beyond traditional credit markets

We believe banks retreating from credit markets has created opportunity in private markets and direct lending.8

Private credit may offer potential structural protections

Direct lending offers potential investor protections through privately negotiated terms, covenants, and pricing. BDEBT focuses on senior-secured loans, which sit at the top of the capital structure, and are the first to be repaid in the event of default.

Historical performance & data

Access BDEBT'S historical performance, distribution per share, and NAV performance.
historical performance for bdebt October 2024

The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares may be worth more or less than the original cost. All returns show reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For complete accounting as of the most recent quarter-end please refer to the 10-Q on the "Resources and Contacts" tab.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Total Net Return is calculated as the change in NAV per share during the period, plus distributions per share (assuming dividends and distributions are reinvested) divided by the beginning NAV per share. Returns greater than one year are annualized. All returns shown are derived from unaudited financial information and are net of all BDEBT expenses, including general and administrative expenses, transaction related expenses, management fees, incentive fees, and share class specific fees, but exclude the impact of early repurchase deductions on the repurchase of shares that have been outstanding for less than one year. Class Institutional does not have upfront placement fees. The returns have been prepared using unaudited data and valuations of the underlying investments in BDEBT’s portfolio, which are estimates of fair value and form the basis for BDEBT’s NAV. Valuations based upon unaudited reports from the underlying investments may be subject to later adjustments, may not correspond to realized value and may not accurately reflect the price at which assets could be liquidated.

What is a Business Development Company?

Unlisted business development companies (BDCs) are SEC-regulated vehicles that seek to offer access to private investments in an efficient fund structure. BDCs were created to provide enhanced access to capital for small and medium-sized companies in the U.S. and provide a wide range of investors the opportunity to invest in potentially high growth private companies.

Fund features

Icon of access key
Private credit exposure15
Targets a portfolio almost entirely invested in senior-secured private credit opportunities, providing investors with meaningful exposure.
Icon of currency usd
Seeks regular distributions16
Expects to target monthly distributions. BDCs distribute 90% of income annually.
Event icon
Target quarterly liquidity17
Anticipates quarterly liquidity, subject to board approval.

15 The Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in securities acquired directly from issuers in privately negotiated transactions subject to an initial ramp up period.

16 The Fund expects to pay regular monthly distributions, which are expected to commence in the third quarter of 2022. Any distributions we make will be at the discretion of our Board of Trustees, considering factors such as our earnings, cash flow, capital needs and general financial condition and the requirements of Delaware law. As a result, our distribution rates and payment frequency may vary from time to time. Distribution payments are not guaranteed, and BlackRock Private Credit Fund may pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds, and advances or the deferral of fees and expense reimbursements, and has no limits on such amounts it may pay from such sources.

17 The Fund commenced operations on 06/01/22. It is expected that, beginning in the second quarter of 2023, the Fund will offer to repurchase Shares (through written tender offers) on a quarterly basis of up to 5% of the shares outstanding, subject to a portfolio liquidity threshold and at the discretion of the Board. However, there can be no assurance that the Fund will repurchase shares on a quarterly basis or at all. Further, if the Fund repurchases shares, there is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the Shares that they desire to sell in any particular quarter. Shares of the Fund are still considered illiquid and appropriate only for those investors who do not require a liquid investment and who are aware of the risks involved in investing in the Fund.

BlackRock Private Credit Fund Resources

Advisors. The most successful ones know that to deliver the very best for their clients, they need to stay one step ahead. Or several.

They have to be agile… but consistent… while evolving to meet client demand today, and championing investment and business solutions that will attract the clients of tomorrow.

So you probably already know all about the opportunities and risks surrounding stocks and bonds…and feel that finding consistent returns and potential real yield is tougher than ever.

Volatility, inflation, geopolitical risk - all of it is putting the traditional 60/40 portfolio under pressure.

Which means advisors need to allocate differently to continue delivering for clients.

But what about private markets?

Over the last 30 years, private markets have become more and more essential to pay attention to.

As the number of publicly listed U.S. companies has shrunk, the number of private companies grew. A lot.

Private markets, like private equity and private credit, can help investors pursue higher returns and income over public stocks and bonds.

But …. many investors have been shut out of accessing private investments due to high minimums, suitability requirements, and high fees, but now, that’s changed.

Now… for accredited investors that can tolerate the risk…private markets are easier to access than ever before.

1099 tax reporting, low minimums, quarterly liquidity - these are just some of the features open to investors through accredited investment vehicles.

And best of all, with BlackRock you have a dedicated partner to navigate the world of private markets with.

Together we can help you build better portfolios and become an even more successful future-thinking advisor for your clients.
