The Private Credit Default index, published by law firm Proskauer, fell to 1.41% in the third quarter. That's down from 2.15% and 1.64% in the first and second quarters, respectively. The index includes U.S. senior secured and unitranche loans, and the default rate is based on the number of loans.

Firms with $25 million to $49.9 million saw a 90-basis-point increase to 2.5%, and those with more than $50 million had a 40-basis-point increase to 1.2%
