In his view, this also creates vast opportunities for private credit. The market in Germany is still significantly less developed than in the US, for example, pointing to above average growth in the coming years.<\/p><p>Mid-sized companies in the DACH region, Benelux, and Scandinavia increasingly need alternative financing partners alongside their relationship banks \u2013 partners who understand their business models and support their growth, technological development, and expansion into new markets. Their capacity for innovation, resilience, and long-term thinking across generations provide a strong foundation for this.<\/p><p>This is the core of Deutsche Credit\u2019s positioning: through our geographic proximity to the Mittelstand and our understanding of its needs, backed by years of experience in working with entrepreneurs, we provide financing solutions tailored to each company\u2019s needs for its next stage of development. In this way, we connect international capital with the opportunities offered by the Mittelstand.<\/p><p>Many thanks for moderating and for the in-depth discussion, James, and to Punica Invest for the venue!<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Interested in the full conversation?

data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The remarkable growth of European private credit markets over the past decade has left certain market segments \u2013 and in particular sponsored direct lending \u2013 starting to look saturated. However, in less penetrated private credit markets such as Germany, where family-owned businesses dominate the mid-market landscape and the country\u2019s economic development, alternative capital financing in form of private credit is still scarce, and substantial investment opportunities with attractive risk-return profiles for investors persist.<\/p><p>\u00a0In this video interview, James Newsome, Managing Partner at Arbour Partners, and Dr. Nicolaus Loos, Managing Partner and CIO at Deutsche Credit, analyze the characteristics, opportunities and advantages around the European SME sector. They also explore how Europe, and Germany in particular, can drive the next chapter in the Private Credit success story.<\/p><p>After all, the \u201cMittelstand\u201d, i.e. the German core mid-market segment, is depicted by venerable organic and inorganic corporate growth stories that often spans generations and is rooted in disciplined and inquisitive ingenuity. Where further growth due to globalization, innovation or digitalization is desired, Deutsche Credit connects global institutional capital with these European and German mid-market hidden champions and finances not only transformation, but oftentimes the successful corporate growth stories of tomorrow.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c933bf4
