The Biggest Knock on Private Credit? Percent Changed That.
The number one knock on private credit has always been the same: you can't get out. Lock in for 12 or 24 months, hope things go as planned, wait. Percent changed that in December 2025 with a secondary marketplace. Browse live bid and ask data on seasoned deals, submit an indication of interest to buy or sell, and Percent coordinates the match. For accredited investors who want private credit yields without locking up capital indefinitely, you can do that now. The numbers as of Q4 2025: · $1.82B funded across 981 deals · 16.72% current weighted average coupon · 0.58% lifetime charge-off rate Very few individual investor platforms offer this. New investors can receive up to $500 on their first investment.
