Frank Danieli highlights the significant role of Australia's superannuation system, which manages approximately $4 trillion AUD, in fueling the growth of private credit. This compulsory pension system provides a large pool of long-term capital seeking fixed-income alternatives.
“In Australia, there is a pension system called superannuation. You have to compulsorily put a certain amount of your money every month into a pension. That's about $4 trillion dollars today.”
“That capital, pension capital, it's looking for long-term investment. It's able to trade off a degree of liquidity for a premium, if it can exist. But it's also looking for something that's more of a fixed income alternative, rather than I want to get equity returns through debt.”
