Morgan Stanley joins bank push into European private credit
- Josie Shillito
Morgan Stanley is among the latest investment banks to attempt to bite back market share from private credit with the anticipated close of its European private credit fund this month, according to 9fin sources.Â
However, market sources cautioned that strategy is king - and, if that strategy is to compete with other direct lending funds, investment banks may well find their eyes are bigger than their stomachs.Â
“The market is already well covered, there aren’t enough deals to go around,” said a banking source.
