  • Deutsche Bank will give its asset management arm preferred access to private credit deals it originates, the companies said on Tuesday, as the German institutions look for an edge in the booming but increasingly competitive market.

Deutsche Bank AG has agreed to provide its asset management arm, DWS, with a first look at private credit deals, aiming to expand its presence in the rapidly growing $1.7 trillion private credit market. This arrangement will allow DWS to review and potentially invest in private credit opportunities before they are offered to other investors. The move is part of Deutsche Bank's strategy to leverage its extensive network and expertise in investment banking to enhance its asset management offerings. This initiative comes at a time when private credit is gaining traction as an alternative to traditional bank lending, especially in a high interest rate environment. The agreement underscores Deutsche Bank's commitment to integrating its various business units to create synergies and drive growth in specialized financial sectors.
