Capital Allocators podcast

Provided by MA Financial

In his most comprehensive interview to date, our Head of Global Credit Solutions Frank Danieli joins Ted Seides on the Capital Allocators podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on private credit, giving listeners under-the-hood insights into how we approach credit investing and why being “optimistically pessimistic” drives us.

Highlights from Frank’s conversation include:

  • How we’re building a diversified fixed income alternative rather than chasing equity-like returns
  • Why private credit is far broader than sponsor-backed direct lending
  • How coming from the “dark side of credit” is a key competitive advantage
  • Why we believe proprietary origination is the future of high-quality credit investing
  • Why we encourage constructive tension between our investment and portfolio management teams
  • Insight into our “What you have to believe” framework for understanding downside risk
  • How red teams, “war games” and “break the glass now” planning strengthen portfolio resilience
  • The dangers of monoline credit, and why diversification is critical in private credit
  • Where we see the greatest opportunities in Australia, and why we’re expanding into the US
  • Why transparency, governance and disclosure are key to building long-term investor confidence.
