Our Approach
Credit is a valuable diversification complement
More than half of our credit team focuses on private credit investing. Our team tracks more than 2,000 private credit funds and meets with 200 private credit managers a year to stay ahead of a fast-growing universe of opportunities*.
More liquid credit investments offer diversification benefits via lower correlations and downside protection. Private credit strategies often deliver returns that typically fall somewhere between liquid public credit investments and illiquid private equity investments.
