The Best Private Credit Stocks Right Now (Updated June 2026)
These seven private credit stocks offer different ways to access direct lending, with Ares Capital standing out as the strongest overall June 2026 pick.
Nuveen Investment Funds IPO: The Bull and Bear Case
Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc. (NGIF) is expected to list on the NYSE on 2026-06-03, but the price range has not been disclosed. The setup is less a classic IPO and more a fund offering tied to infrastructure exposure. Bull case: a long Nuveen track record and a specialized mandate; bear case: this is not an operating company IPO, and the filing set does not show traditional growth metrics.
Stellus Capital Investment Corporation 5.75% NT 2022: Private Credit Story
Stellus Capital Investment Corporation 5.75% NT 2022 is expected to list on NASDAQ on 2026-05-27, but the price range has not been disclosed. The security appears to be a notes issue, not a new equity IPO, so the key question is how investors view the company’s private credit funding model. Watch the structural-subordination risk and the fact that Stellus has already been public since 2012.
