Houlihan Lokey Private Credit DataBank

Loan-Level Analytics for Direct Lending Market Insights

Houlihan Lokey’s Private Credit DataBank is a proprietary private credit data analytics platform offering structured, loan-level insights into the global direct lending market. Built from the firm’s recurring portfolio valuation work, the DataBank aggregates data from more than 60,000 loan valuations.

This comprehensive dataset spans the full spectrum of private credit—from borrowers with less than $20 million to over $100 million in EBITDA—across industries, geographies, and capital structures, including senior and junior debt.

Granular, Continuously Updated Private Credit Data

Each loan record in the Private Credit DataBank includes more than 200 standardized data fields, enabling deep analysis across:

  • Loan terms: key terms, covenants, issue prices
  • Fair value metrics: yield, spread, and price
  • Credit metrics: leverage, loan-to-value, interest coverage, fixed-charge coverage
  • Borrower performance: revenue, EBITDA, enterprise value, equity value
  • And many others

The dataset includes monthly observations dating back to 2017 and is updated continuously. Because loans are valued on a recurring basis, the DataBank provides a consistent time-series view of loan performance—not just at issuance, but throughout the lifecycle. This enables precise tracking of credit risk, borrower health, and market behavior over time.
