“Everyone we compete with, other CEOs of asset managers, credit asset managers that I talk to, are hyper-focused on making sure that there's not another cockroach running around in their portfolio,” says Steve Ketchum, CEO and founder of Sound Point Capital, when reflecting on the potential positive side effects of recent high-visibility credit events. Ketchum joins Bloomberg Intelligence’s Noel Hebert on this episode of the Credit Crunch podcast to discuss the evolution from modest beginnings to nearly $45 billion in assets under management, synergies across the Sound Point product suite, the role of strategic partnerships, scale and one of their core ethos: wanting to have more ideas than capital. They also reflect on the growing role of private credit and how CLO structures have evolved. The Credit Crunch podcast is part of BI’s FICC Focus series. Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
