# kaal:position:2026-08-08-145

**Affirmed position.** Private Credit and Bank Systemic Risk reports that 2026 BDC liquidity shocks were transmitted to banks mainly through credit agreements and increased systemic risk. This supplies a direct bank-exposure channel consistent with Kaal's account of fund shocks damaging financial institutions and the importance of bank lending exposure. The abstract does not establish that the same channel operates for every private-fund strategy.
