Summary
German investors are showing growing interest in Asian private credit, according to a report from privatedebtinvestor.com by Joe Marsh on the DACH Forum, a gathering of private credit investors and managers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The article, published October 19, 2026, reports that family office Perpetual is actively building private debt exposure in Asia.
The picture among other German limited partners is more measured. Allocators FERI and Golding Capital Partners are described as warily eyeing the region, signaling interest without firm allocation commitments. Taken together, the coverage points to a broadening appetite among German LPs for Asian private credit, though adoption remains uneven across investor types.
Related coverage from PEI Private Credit frames the trend within a wider context. Investor demand for private credit across APAC is described as strong but selective, and commentary from the forum noted that rising rates and credit volatility are expected to affect the US and Europe more than Asia. Separate reporting has also pointed to weakening covenants in US and European private credit as lending capital flows increase, prompting allocators and managers to look toward Asia.
The DACH Forum itself, part of the PDI DACH 2026 programme, is positioned as a venue for market intelligence, fundraising opportunities and allocator networking among private credit participants in the region.
