flag Australia’s $200B private credit market faces scrutiny over hidden fees, poor transparency, and risks to retail investors.

flag Australia’s private credit market, worth $200 billion and growing rapidly, faces scrutiny over hidden fees, lack of transparency, and risks to retail investors. flag A report by ASIC reveals widespread issues including undisclosed borrower fees, conflicts of interest, inconsistent valuations, and misleading terminology. flag Many investors, especially in self-managed super funds, may not understand the risks tied to high-yield, real estate-heavy loans. flag The report warns that returns are sometimes funded by new capital rather than profits, and calls for stronger oversight, clearer disclosures, and industry reforms to protect investors and ensure market integrity.
