Blackstone’s flagship private credit fund, BCRED, is issuing $500 million of five-year investment-grade bonds, expected to yield about 1.6 percentage points above Treasuries. 

 

The sale comes after BCRED’s $1 billion issuance in January and follows a $650 million note deal from Ares Management’s BDC earlier this week. Goldman Sachs’s BDC is also preparing a potential offering as business development companies take advantage of renewed investor demand. 

 

These firms, which lend to small and midsize companies, are tapping the market before earnings blackout periods begin. Issuance overall has surged, with 27 companies selling $43 billion of debt Tuesday, the third-largest daily volume on record. Barclays, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, RBC, and Wells Fargo are managing the deal, with proceeds earmarked for general corporate purposes.


Finsum: The timing of this private credit move is worth monitoring, as it could have implication for earnings season.
