In this special episode, we discuss our partnership with Blackstone, the world’s largest alternative asset manager. We also offer an overview of private credit and look at the role the asset class could play alongside public credit within investor portfolios.
Our speakers are Jo McCaffrey, Chief Strategy and Product Officer, Asset Management, L&G; and Brad Marshall, Global Head of Private Credit Strategies at Blackstone.
Other topics covered include:
· The reasons behind the rapid growth of private credit
· Key investor considerations around the asset class, in particular for the UK Wealth market
· Blackstone’s approach to underwriting investments to mitigate risk
The podcast was recorded on 30 October and was moderated by Max Julius, Head of Content, Asset Management, L&G.
