Private credit has grown faster than its infrastructure. Where does the market stand?

• Marc Andrew, Founder, The Private Markets Forum

Most credit technology was built to solve specific problems. Origination, monitoring, compliance, reporting: separate systems, separate data. As platforms grow, integration becomes the constraint. This panel explores how firms are connecting the stack to support the next phase of growth.

Most credit platforms still run on Excel. No standardized model for deals, borrowers, or portfolio sponsors. That's becoming untenable as firms consolidate across direct lending, ABF, and private equity, and as new investor channels demand more rigorous reporting. This panel explores where current data and operating models break down, and what it takes to build the unified architecture that multi-strategy platforms demand.

Private credit was bilateral and confidential. But as the market scales, LPs, regulators, and secondary buyers all want more visibility. This panel explores the infrastructure emerging to meet that demand: data standards, disclosure frameworks, and the platforms connecting market participants.

LP expectations for private credit reporting are changing fast. LPs need timely, structured visibility beneath the fund NAV: borrower performance, sector concentrations, rate sensitivity, and credit quality. This panel explores how GPs can meet these demands through scalable, permissioned data-sharing workflows and technology that turns fragmented reporting into decision-ready insights.

• Amit Gairola, CEO, Daphne
• Jill Kreps, Technology Solutions Head of Product Management, Hamilton Lane

‍

When deal flow was hot, operational pressure hit origination and onboarding. Now it's shifted: investor communications, post-trade workflows, capital reallocation across strategies. This session explores what the market cycle is revealing about where tech investments actually compound.

• Eliot Hodges, CEO, Anduin‍
• Michelle Vasil, Vice President, Investor Relations Operations, Bain Capital

Private credit grew up serving institutional LPs through closed-end drawdown funds. Now managers run multiple structures for multiple types of investors, each with different pricing, liquidity, and regulatory demands. These structures import public market expectations into a private market operating model. This panel will look at how to build fungible platform and operations operating models.
