JPMorgan marking down loan portfolios of private credit groups, FT reports (JPM:NYSE)

JPMorgan has marked down the value of certain loans held by private-credit groups and is tightening how much it will lend to the private-credit sector. The move reduces bank exposure to private-credit loans and could constrain financing and liquidity for private-credit funds and leveraged deals. This signals increased caution from a major bank toward alternative credit provision and may pressure deal activity and valuations in the private-credit market.
