Private Credit

Debt financing (also known as Private Credit) is one of the “OG” alternative investments — a $1.2 trillion alternative investment market that is top of mind for institutions around the world. Common uses include equipment financing, inventory financing, and acquisition financing.

As an investor, you can help provide secured and unsecured loans. Firms use your capital to finance equipment and pay you back with interest.

We research and write about opportunities from time to time. Follow this asset if you’re interested. We’ll send occasional updates.

I read your emails pretty religiously. Your issue on investing in tax liens is one of my absolute favorites. Great coverage for an otherwise totally grey area that seems to have little mindshare within the broader REI community.

I've recently discovered the Alts newsletter, and am enjoying it. They don't strictly focus on digital assets, which actually helps it keep it more unique in my opinion.
