On this mini edition of What Matters, Andrew Pridham AO talks with our Head of Global Credit Solutions Frank Danieli about his new quarterly private credit investor letter released in mid-April titled ‘Predicting rain doesn’t count’.   

Frank dives into March quarter fund performance and explains why at MA Financial when it comes to investing in private credit we build the ark, not predict rain – we focus on portfolio resilience over market forecasts seeking to deliver strong returns through all cycles. Frank and Andrew also share insights into how financial advisers can navigate private credit in the context of volatile equities markets. 

Frank’s new quarterly letter is a go-to for regular updates on our Global Credit Solutions fund suite along with expert insights into key themes shaping the private credit landscape. Visit our website for more information https://mafinancial.com/
