Private Credit: Cycles Still Matter and Putting Risk into Context Media narratives in financial markets often emphasize risk without context. Defaults happen in all credit markets—public and private—and risks often involve isolated situations or stresses tied to specific borrowers, not systemic market failures. During our time together, we will discuss that structural features, underwriting discipline and manager skill shape real outcomes. This is why private credit plays such an important role in investors’ portfolios today and do not expect that to change. LOCATION The Henry 4455 E.
