Blending Private and Public Credit

The Blending Private and Public Credit session delves into the growing demand from retail and high-net-worth investors for evergreen interval funds that blend private credit and public credit to combine the best of both worlds, including the need for stable income and liquidity.

Learning Objectives:

• Examine how managers of blended credit funds balance the desire for higher returns, through the illiquidity of private credit, with the desire for stable returns and periodic redemptions.
• Understand the background behind the increasing popularity of private credit among retail investors.
• See how blended funds integrate public debt instruments with private credit strategies, including private corporate loans, private asset-based loans, private asset-backed lending facilities, high yield bonds and emerging market debt.
