What You Need to Know About Private Credit with Mark Gatto (Ep. 76)


Listen Later

With public markets still shaky despite recent rebounds, many investors are looking for more stability, without sacrificing returns. 

In this timely episode, Robert Curtiss sits down with Mark Gatto, co-founder and co-CEO of CION Investments, to unpack how private credit and infrastructure investing can offer stable, reliable alternatives for individual investors.

They discuss the growing accessibility of alternative investments, the yield potential of private credit, and why “boring” may be the new smart in today’s market. Mark also shares how CION’s platform was designed specifically for individual investors, unlike most institutions that only cater to the ultra-wealthy.

What to expect from this episode:

  • Why the majority of high-performing companies are still private—and how to access them
  • How regulatory changes post-2008 created opportunity in private credit
  • The appeal of yield-focused alternatives in a volatile equity environment
  • What to look for when choosing private market managers
