Peachtree Group has acquired more than $330 million in loans year-to-date from U.S. banking institutions and private lenders, including a lender finance transaction secured by portfolios of loans.
The firm’s 2026 volume builds on momentum from 2025, when it acquired approximately $570 million in loans, according to the Atlanta-based company. Peachtree’s recent acquisitions include positions tied to underlying loan portfolios, underscoring increased access to real estate-backed credit through both direct originations and secondary financing relationships.
“While some areas of private credit have drawn attention for stress, we are seeing fundamentally sound loans come to market as banks and lenders de-risk,” Greg Friedman, president, Peachtree Group, said in a statement. “This creates opportunities to provide liquidity and assume positions that require more complex underwriting.”
Year-to-date transactions have largely been sourced directly from regional banks and private lenders seeking to reduce exposure or improve liquidity, with many loans backed by stabilized commercial real estate assets. Market participants note that banks continue to limit concentration risk and manage overall portfolio exposure, expanding the role of private capital in filling financing gaps.
Peachtree noted it structures its capital to align with the duration of its investments, aiming to mitigate liquidity mismatches and allow deployment during periods of market disruption. The firm also positions itself as a flexible capital partner for lenders adjusting portfolio allocations.
“Private credit remains an established part of the capital stack. Performance is increasingly tied to underwriting discipline and structuring expertise, particularly in a market defined by variability across assets and borrowers,” added Friedman.
