Common questions
How many private credit funds are there in the US?
The Agentas database tracks 2,236 active private credit funds as of July 2026, the large majority lending into North America. The true global universe is larger — new funds form weekly — which is why the dataset is re-verified continuously rather than published as a static list.
How many private credit funds lend to the middle market?
Most of them. The median sourced check-size band across the direct-lender peer set is roughly $10M–$100M — the center of gravity of private credit supply is the middle market, not nine-figure deals.
