[wpdm_package id=’48556′]

The private debt industry in North America is on track to beat last year’s number of deals and has already outpaced 2020 in aggregate deal value. So far in 2021, the region has seen 339 deals with an aggregate deal value of $105.5bn, which will give it its highest deal value in a decade if this pace continues. As average deal size has increased the past couple of years, it took 572 deals in 2018 to reach $109.6bn, and in 2015 it took 422 deals to get to aggregate deal value of $109.2bn.
