Pantheon Private Credit (“PPC”) was established in 2018 and manages approximately $15 billion in AUM, raising numerous drawdown and evergreen funds, SMAs and structured vehicles across the institutional, insurance and retail investor markets to take advantage of the growing private credit secondary market opportunity set.
