Regional banks have quietly expanded their exposure to private credit funds over the past few years, a relationship regulators are now scrutinizing after the sector’s rapid growth outpaced the oversight built for it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulators are examining how deeply traditional banks are financially linked to the fast-growing private credit sector.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Private credit funds, which lend directly to companies outside the traditional banking system, have grown into a multi-trillion-dollar industry over the past decade, filling a gap left as banks pulled back from certain types of corporate lending after the post-financial-crisis regulatory tightening. That growth has occurred largely outside the disclosure and oversight requirements that apply to regulated banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s drawn fresh regulatory attention is how intertwined the two systems have become. Banks increasingly lend to the private credit funds themselves, or hold stakes in them, creating exposure to a sector’s risks without the disclosure requirements that would apply if the bank had made the underlying loans directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulators are asking who actually bears the risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Financial stability officials have flagged concerns that losses inside the private credit sector, if they were to occur at scale during a downturn, could transmit back into the regulated banking system through these lending and equity relationships — the kind of interconnected risk regulators spent years trying to reduce after the 2008 financial crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We moved risk outside the regulated perimeter. We didn’t necessarily move it outside the banking system’s exposure to it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Industry groups representing private credit funds argue their model has performed well through recent stress periods and shouldn’t be regulated as if it were a bank. Regulators, for their part, appear increasingly focused less on restricting the sector’s growth and more on simply gaining clearer visibility into exactly how exposed the traditional banking system has become.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
