PRIVATE CREDIT

Source and win private credit deals faster

Get ahead in the private credit market with real-time deal flow, BDC holdings, benchmarkable deal data, and cited AI research.

The private credit market is opaque by design

Private deals lack a central exchange, standardized reporting, and transparent benchmarks for pricing and terms. 9fin connects deal flow, lender data, covenants, and market intelligence, so teams can answer critical questions faster.

DEAL FLOW

Source private credit deals earlier

Track pipeline, refinancings, and new direct lending transactions as they emerge. Turn direct lending activity and proprietary origination intelligence into faster outreach to sponsors and borrowers.

“We get 9fin’s European private credit pipeline every Friday, and within seconds we can scroll through and reach out to the relevant sponsor or company.”

BENCHMARKING & MONITORING

Benchmark deals and spot portfolio risk sooner

Benchmark structure, spreads, and terms against 8,000+ private credit deals, then monitor BDC exposure for signs of deterioration. BDC holdings data helps teams test pricing, comps, concentration, and portfolio risk against market evidence.

“The private credit transaction database is awesome. We’ve been using it to get a sense for how much private credit is taking over from traditional BSL.”
