Chicago Atlantic Targets Emerging Markets in Private Credit Push

Chicago Atlantic is moving into private credit markets in the developing world, seeking to seize on increased demand as investors pull money out of similar funds in the US.

The new strategy, led by emerging-market veterans Peter Marber and Jim Garvey, will lend to high-quality borrowers such as government-linked and “strategically important” companies, the firm said in a statement. The offerings will focus on senior secured loans, structured credit, and asset-backed financing solutions.
