今年，美国的对冲基金疯狂地做空私募贷款机构，而且已经赚了17亿美元。 5月4日，据媒体报道，今年以来，美国的七家最大直接贷款机构（如阿波罗全球管理公司、Ares资管公 司和Blue Owl资本公司）正面临空头投资者的强力冲击。据S3 Partners LLC的数据，空头投资者从这些 机构的押注中已经获得了17亿美元的账面收益。 "如果我们真的陷入经济衰退，另类资产管理公司的风险将非常大。如果公司收入下降，现 金流下降，这意味着杠杆率上升，自由现金流就会消失。" 有人悲观就有人乐观。穆迪评级私募信贷团队副总裁Clay Montgomery表示，商业发展公司（一种私人 贷款机构）杠杆率低，就算经济衰退要减记投资组合，也有资本缓冲。但从股价表现来看，资产管理公 司的股价今年普遍疲软。 PIK贷款的高估问题 除此之外，还有一个不容忽视的潜在风险——直接贷款的估值。国际清算银行去年指出，向美国证券交 易委员会报告数据的私募信贷基金中，只有40%使用第三方评估。 管理620亿美元资产的Adams Street的Jeffrey Diehl和Bill Sacher上周在一份报告中写道： 私募贷款机构的运作模式通常是为中小企业 ...

他特别指出，目前的抛售潮更多是投资者"在（市场）下跌前脱身"的主动避险行为，而非源于大规模的 强制平仓或严重的流动性危机。"迄今为止，我们尚未看到强制抛售，"奥利里表示。 值得注意的是，奥利里认为，当前的折价抛售尚未伴随明显的信用质量恶化。但随着经济前景进一步黯 淡，这种折扣可能扩大："目前市场还未出现被迫出售，但未来投资者的焦虑会加剧，抛售折扣将进一 步扩大。" 信贷质量隐忧 近年来，美国私募信贷近年来迅速扩张，市场规模已达1.6万亿美元，其快速增长与相对宽松的监管环 境，引发投资者对其在经济下行周期中资产质量的广泛担忧。 奥利里表示，私募信贷贷款普遍存在"承销不严谨"的问题，如果经济持续恶化，高收益债务的违约率可 能达到高个位数，私募信贷违约率甚至可能达到两位数。 过去几年，私募领域债务规模激增，但与公开市场相比，私募信贷市场的资产减记速度更慢。奥利里表 示，一些负债过重的企业勉强维持经营，但长期来看，会对借款方和贷款方的利益都造成损失。 面对经济进一步恶化的担忧，美国私募信贷投资者开始大幅折价出售资产，最低交易价格甚至仅为资产 面值的一半。 折价交易涌现，投资者"未雨绸缪" 橡树资本联席CEO罗伯特·奥 ...
