For private credit, the best dealmaking times are when there’s more volatility, says Mattis Poetter, chief investment officer of leading European private credit firm Arcmont Asset Management, on the latest edition of the ‘Credit Exchange with Lisa Lee’ podcast. “Volatility is generally a very good thing for us in terms of dealmaking and new underwriting,” Poetter told host Lisa Lee, managing editor at Creditflux. Private credit in the past five years has really expanded market share in periods of dislocation.Though still too early to really tell, if there’s more volatility in public markets and increased credit spreads, Poetter can see substantial capital withdrawing from the liquid market and private credit market in Europe, which are much smaller and more inefficient compared to their US counterparts. That would be very good for the large, incumbent European players.Poetter points to 2022 and 2023, when Arcmont saw a vanishing of competitive intensity in Europe. Capital in the European middle market was very hard to come by, liquid markets were shut, US players focused on their home market, and small European lenders struggled to fundraise.The drawback with Trump tariffs is the possibility they will damage the economy or reduce certain trade flows and negatively impact the portfolio of existing loans, Poetter says.
