01

The Problem

The questionnaire changed

AIMA's 2025 manager DDQ refresh, the first major update in eight years, built AI, cyber and cloud questions into the core sections. Amended Form PF compliance took effect October 1, 2026, and DDQs now ask GPs to confirm readiness.

Adoption outran governance

85% of private credit leaders say AI is fully embedded in operations. Only 7% report cross-functional AI oversight, and only 8% of GPs describe their data environment as highly mature.

LPs reward the managers who get this right

Why Æther

Built by a desk that has sat on both sides of the table: former VP at Citi Global Family Office Group, former CIO and Head of Capital Markets at a specialty finance lender, with a private credit network of 80+ firms and speaking engagements at Private Credit Club, Sydecar and Uncorrelated. We write these answers the way allocators read them.
