Private credit is attracting a lot of attention. A combination of higher base rates, a credit margin, and an illiquidity premium are appealing to investors looking for income.

In this episode, Portfolio Manager Justin Voller from Challenger Investment Management unpacks the private credit opportunity, and the red flags investors should look out for.
