Private Credit Solutions
Bring transparency to private credit.

Private credit is now a core allocation — and the infrastructure to manage it has to match. Built on a proprietary taxonomy spanning 3,400+ private credit funds and 107,200+ private credit loans, MSCI delivers the integrated intelligence investors need: independent data, credit risk analytics, daily benchmarks and portfolio tools within one ecosystem — so every exposure can be assessed, managed and supported by consistent, transparent analytics.

A connected view of private credit

Private credit has long operated on fragmented data and manager-defined metrics. MSCI seeks to address this by connecting standardized datasets, independent credit analytics and daily benchmarks so investors can assess exposures, evaluate managers and integrate private credit into total portfolio frameworks with consistency and independent discipline.

Assess credit risk

Apply a standardized, third-party validated framework to assess borrower- and facility-level risk, benchmark managers and bring independent credit discipline to private credit portfolios.

Benchmark strategies

Track performance by structure, seniority or region with MSCI Private Credit Indexes, designed to support allocation decisions through standardized, data-driven metrics.

Standardize reporting

Support the harmonization of reporting and help streamline due diligence using MSCI’s taxonomy – integrating private credit into enterprise-level risk and governance frameworks.

Compare fund performance

Evaluate funds across vintages, strategies and geographies using LP-sourced data, enabling peer comparison independent of manager reporting.

Unify your total portfolio

Bridge private and public markets using the MSCI Private Credit Factor Model. Analyze risk drivers to sharpen allocation decisions and extend consistent oversight across portfolio exposures where data is available.
