So of its a debt fund there wouldn't be equity usually unless it's a debt and equity fund (more common in re development).
AUM would include both the money they have deployed as a debt, and also the money they have raised in the fund awaiting allocation to a deal as debt.
Sorry I meant does AUM include the total value of the assets they did the credit on, but your answer makes sense.

Don't think the above poster is accurate. Whether you're at a debt fund or an equity fund, the AUM typically considered the equity you have in the fund itself, without factoring in leverage used in those transactions to boost returns.

If you're at a debt fund and raise $100mm from investors, then lever that up with a 65% debt facility on top to deploy out $285mm, you still technically only manage $100mm even though you have deployed $285mm.

Would agree my firm quotes Gross aum (with debt) and net aum(without debt(
