PDC clients invest across several asset classes including corporate directing lending (middle market and broadly syndicated loans), commercial real estate, residential real estate, ABS, CLO, distressed debt, and special situations (among others).

Expanding activity with this set of clients is a key growth vector for Morgan Stanley's Institutional Securities Group (ISG).
