Direct lending dry powder in North America hit a record breaking $123.9bn as of July 2023. While displaying gradual growth from 2021 to 2022, the last six months saw a 16% increase, the largest jump in nearly five years. Though private debt has not been immune to the drop in fundraising across alternative assets, North America-focused direct lending funds have raised a combined $38.4bn in the year to July 2023, on track to meet or exceed the $67.2bn raised in full year 2022.
