An Update on the Evolving Landscape in Private Credit Livestream

The replay from our most recent livestream is now available. The discussion featured a moderated conversation with Nora Pickens, Partner, Investment Strategy, and guest speaker Dimitri Cohen, Principal and CIO of Credit at Raven, covering private credit and the trends institutional investors are watching.

This session was designed to provide thoughtful context around evolving market dynamics and to offer insight into how experienced investors are assessing uncertainty. The discussion was intended for informational purposes only and did not include specific investment recommendations.

Key Takeaways from the Livestream

• Private credit is not a uniform asset class. Strategies vary widely in structure, borrower type, and risk profile, and outcomes may differ meaningfully across segments.
• Recent market pressures appear uneven. Volatility has been influenced by factors such as interest rate expectations, sector-specific concerns, and investor sentiment, with impacts varying across portfolios and strategies.
• Fund structure and liquidity terms are key considerations. Investment vehicles offering periodic liquidity may face constraints during periods of elevated redemption activity, particularly where underlying assets are less liquid.
• Credit selection and structuring may influence outcomes. Approaches that emphasize collateral, covenant protections, and underwriting discipline may be better positioned to navigate periods of market stress, though outcomes are uncertain.
• Market conditions may affect opportunity sets. Changes in capital flows and investor behavior can influence pricing and availability of transactions, which may create or reduce opportunities depending on market conditions.
