My guest today is popular past guest, Ali Hamed, who joins us for an update on private credit. We discuss what has happened so far, what parts of the market are frozen, and where opportunities may lie. We also talk about how the world has shifted digitally since the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Please enjoy my conversation with my friend, Ali Hamed.
Private Credit: A State of the Union
So, Ali, I've been doing a lot of these updates on specific areas of the market in the COVID era. I haven't done private credit yet. I've been really excited to talk to you about, not just private credit, but all you see in the ecosystem that you operate in. Maybe you could begin by giving me a sort of state of the union. What are you focused on right now? What's been surprising or unsurprising about the world of private credit and how it's reacted to COVID thus far?
