As traditional fixed income instruments endure unprecedented duration volatility and public equities trade at elevated valuation multiples, institutional allocators increasingly turn to private credit to secure durable, inflation-resilient cash returns. Pinnacle Private Credit manages discretionary and co-investment lending vehicles that originate directly in defensive, cash-flow-generative middle-market companies.
By directly originating and strictly underwriting every loan in our portfolios, Pinnacle captures the illiquidity and complexity premia inherent in private markets while avoiding the volatile mark-to-market sentiment of public bond exchanges.
Why Allocators Partner with Pinnacle
Our facilities are structured with floating interest rates pegged to CME Term SOFR plus healthy credit spreads (550 to 750 bps). This provides an automatic hedge against inflation and rising interest rates, generating steady quarterly cash distributions.
Over 90% of our portfolio assets hold first-priority liens on borrower enterprise value, accounts receivable, real estate, and intellectual property. Conservative LTV ratios (50%–65%) establish significant equity buffers beneath our debt.
