## Resource

Asset-based credit is reshaping the private credit landscape, offering investors new ways to diversify portfolios with the potential to capture higher yields amid market volatility. As banks pull back from certain lending markets and consumer behaviors evolve, asset-based credit stands out for its short duration, high yield, and low correlation to corporate credit.
