Broadcom is reportedly looking at a $60 billion to $100 billion private-credit deal to fund AI chips for Anthropic and other AI providers. The potential financing would sit alongside a broader effort by AI-linked issuers to find new pools of long-term capital as demand for funding rises.
Large mandates and specialist financing

Niche-sector fundraising continues
Private-credit managers also raised capital for more specialised strategies. Ninety One raised $400 million for an Africa-focused private-credit fund, Crestline closed a $625 million European lower mid-market lending fund, and Accession Capital Partners held a €105 million first close for a Central and Eastern Europe direct-lending fund.

Blackstone Private Credit Fund, the firm’s retail private-credit vehicle BCRED, also issued a $750 million bond.
