Survey Says: Investment Strategies Are Shifting Towards Private Credit.

The stock market is burning red hot these days, and many investors are wondering: If a market correction happens, where could I invest my money beyond stocks and bonds?

Private credit is a broad category of direct lending that includes corporate loans, asset-based loans and other privately negotiated deals with corporate borrowers. 

Percent has powered over $1bn in deals through their private credit marketplace. On their platform, you can find: 

• High APY potential: average net APY of 14.08% in Q2 2024

• Flexible and shorter durations with most deals maturing in 6-36 months

• Recurring cashflow through interest payments, available in most deals

• Diversification in lending types across small business loans, merchant cash advances, trade finance, consumer loans and more 

First time investors can get up to $500 with their first investment. Sign up to learn more.

^{Alternative investments are speculative and possess a high level of risk. No assurance can be given that investors will receive a return of their capital. Those investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment should not invest. Investments in private placements are highly illiquid and those investors who cannot hold an investment for an indefinite term should not invest. Private credit investments may be complex investments and they are subject to default risk.}

Insights:

Earnings may come as a surprise this week. In the last week or so, the market has sold off from technical selling, politics, and bad $TSLA earnings. Earnings week could provide a continuation if big-cap stocks lead.

The company we will focus on is $AMD & Meta. Even with a bad earnings report, if $AMD holds our key level, we could still see bullish activity going into the end of the year. (View Economic Calendar)

Market Characteristics:

We have a very volatile market, up and down. You really have two options: take risks with less money, focus on investing/swing trading with equity, or sit on your hands.

Will there be a market crash?

Long answer short, SWS is not expecting one at the moment.
