Private credit markets are under pressure from high interest rates, while excess demand is keeping spreads low, according to Wayne Dahl, co-portfolio manager for Oaktree’s global credit and investment grade solutions strategies. “I think there will be some general stress,” says Dahl in the latest Credit Edge podcast from Bloomberg Intelligence. “When people get excited, they put money in — the end investor has no choice but to invest that, and therefore you’ll maybe see spreads compress a little bit more than would otherwise be warranted,” Dahl tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and BI Senior Credit Analyst Mike Holland. Also in this episode, Dahl and Holland discuss risk in the health care sector, as well as opportunities in consumer staples, insurance and securitized credit.
