Fitch Ratings’ latest Credit Journal series is a subject-specific, curated compilation of in-depth research and commentary. This edition explores the growing world of private credit, including non-bank lending across business development companies.
Business development companies (BDCs) and wealth managers are the most vulnerable sectors to artificial intelligence (AI)-driven credit risks within financial institutions.

Wealth managers are identified as highly vulnerable to business model disruption as AI-enabled model portfolios and direct indexing platforms offer low-cost alternatives to traditional advisory services.
