JPMorgan restricts private credit lending after markdowns, Bloomberg says

JPMorgan (JPM) Chase is restricting some lending to private credit funds after marking down the value of certain loans in their portfolios, the latest sign of stress in the $1.8 trillion industry, Bloomberg’s Adam Haigh. The devalued loans are to software companies, according to people familiar with the matter. That industry is home to some of the biggest borrowers in the private credit market and has been in the spotlight in recent weeks due to investor concern over the impact AI will have on its business model, the author adds.
