ABS vs. Private Credit: Why ABS May Offer a Better Alternative

ABS or private credit? We believe publicly traded, non-traditional ABS offer more attractive performance potential. Both provide higher income and diversification potential than traditional bonds, but ABS stand out for liquidity, transparency and structural credit enhancements. Private credit often relies on leverage to boost returns, increasing risk and locking up capital for years. Conversely, the shorter durations and diverse collateral of ABS can enhance yield, manage interest-rate and credit risk and boost portfolio diversification.
