Frequently Asked Questions

Q.What is a private credit fund and why are investors withdrawing from them?

Q.How does Goldman Sachs' private credit fund compare to industry peers on withdrawals?

Goldman's fund has resisted the elevated withdrawal trend that is affecting other private credit funds, doing so for at least a second consecutive period according to available reporting.
