Private Credit Fund Burned by Risky Bets Is Bleeding Cash​

As Prospect Capital faces a surge in troubled borrowers paying interest with more debt, concerns over the fund’s finances are growing louder.

Prospect Capital, a little-known New York firm that helped pioneer the private credit boom, has come up with an unusual technique to keep dividends flowing out of an $8 billion fund it runs.

For years now, it’s sold financial instruments to retail investors and handed over the proceeds to shareholders.

The sales helped the fund deliver hefty payouts even as the performance of its investments — mostly corporate loans to mid-size companies and real estate — deteriorated markedly. But they’ve also long raised concerns among some analysts who say the strategy obfuscates returns and is unsustainable.

Three-quarters of the global carry trade has now been removed, with a recent selloff erasing this year’s gains, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Returns in Group-of-10, emerging market and global carry trade baskets tracked by the bank have fallen about 10% since May, quantitative strategists Antonin Delair, Meera Chandan and Kunj Padh wrote in a note to clients. The moves have wiped out the year-to-date returns and significantly cut into profits accumulated since the end of 2022.

Mlmlwml. Life is too short to spend so much of our time at work. Ours is wanting old people labour force above 70s to continue working. Blue collar jobs like taxi driving, physically old uncles can't take long hours driving. Also those in office hogging the space not letting new grads gain experience..
