In this episode of Extra Credit, Danilo Rippa, Head of Multi-Strategy Credit at Man Group is joined by Kevin Marchetti, co-Head of Direct Lending and Chief Credit Officer, and Zeshan Ashfaque, Senior Credit Officer at Man Varagon. Private credit has grown significantly over the past decade, representing a secular shift in how companies access funding – and how investors are allocating to credit. This far-reaching episode offers insight into trends in lending, yields, syndication and how they may – or may not – be impacted by an uncertain economic environment. The world of credit is evolving. Gone are the days when investment grade bonds were only sold over the phone and the world of direct lending was a little-known niche. Corporates now have a multitude of ways to access capital and investors can diversify their credit allocation more than ever before. Extra Credit, the fourth season of our Long Story Short podcast, will explore the ways credit is changing and how it fits into your portfolio. Hosted by Danilo Rippa, Head of Global Credit Multi-Strategy and Global Convertibles at Man Solutions, this season will feature experts from across the credit investing spectrum.
