Market swings, especially during election years, can make traditional investments more volatile. That's why savvy investors are turning to private credit—a proven performer that has outpaced both high-yield bonds and stocks during the last three market downturns.
If you follow the moves of the world’s top asset managers, it’s clear that private credit has become one of the most sought-after asset classes in recent years.
Percent offers accredited investors access to exclusive private credit deals, featuring:
Proven performance with annual net returns of 14%+ and over $1 billion in deals funded
Stable recurring cash flow from regular interest payments.
Diversification across sectors like small business loans, consumer finance, and real estate throughout the U.S., Canada, and Latin America.
Investment flexibility with individual private credit deals or a blended note across multiple deals
Private credit’s low correlation to public markets makes it an ideal hedge against volatility. With Percent, you can access deals previously reserved for institutional investors, positioning your portfolio for both stability and growth.

5 Tips for Choosing the Right Medical Alert Device
Shopping for a medical alert device? We recommend starting by figuring out which features matter most to you. Here are a few things to keep in mind when making your choice:
Comfort and Design: You’ll be wearing your device often, so it should feel comfortable and fit your personal style. Whether you want something discreet or a little more stylish, there are options out there to match your preferences like the color or the way you wear your device.
Battery Life: A reliable device needs a battery that lasts. Look for one that can stay powered up for a long time—it’s one less thing to worry about
Customer Reviews: Hearing what other users have to say can help you feel confident about your decision. Pay attention to ratings and reviews to see how a device performs in real-life situations.
Key Features: Think about what’s most important for your lifestyle. Fall detection? GPS tracking? Water resistance? Medication reminders? Choose a device with the features you’ll use and value most.
Value for Your Budget: Price matters, but so does peace of mind. Look for promotions or offers to get the best deal without compromising on quality.
