Private credit has grown rapidly over the past decade, prompting investors to revisit how public and private credit can work together in modern portfolios. In this episode of All the Credit, we explore how this shift is changing the way multi‑asset portfolios are constructed and managed.

We also focus on the challenges of imperfect data, why liquidity and valuations fall along a spectrum rather than a simple public‑versus‑private divide, and how combining strengths like private‑market sourcing and public‑market flexibility can improve overall portfolio construction.

Private asset-based finance (ABF) is the catch-all of credit markets—a diverse and complex segment offering a wide range of investment opportunities. In this follow-up to our previous ABF discussion, we delve deeper into the asset class and what it takes to be successful from origination to underwriting and portfolio construction. We discuss investment areas of interest—as well as those we're apt to avoid—and examine the convergence of structured products and corporate credit through the lens of AI and data center finance. This episode also explores market dynamics, risk management, and where private ABF fits into multi-asset portfolio construction.
