Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Investing in Whiskey, Marinas & More with Cordillera
Q: What drew you to Boat-Marina investments, and what is the exit strategy?
There are significant barriers to new supply, demand remains sticky, and financing can be secured via a diversified portfolio and professional management; exit strategies include monetization and potential capital infusion from strategic partners.
Investing in Whiskey, Marinas & More with Cordillera
Q: Could you talk about the Whiskey Aging strategy under the inventory-finance umbrella and how it achieved returns?
They invested in whiskey in 2018, aged it for several years, used forward contracts to manage risk, and monetized via selling barrels at favorable pricing curves, achieving notable upside even as some demand cooled.
Investing in Whiskey, Marinas & More with Cordillera
Q: Cordillera's emphasis is on niche alternative investments. Can you explain what that exactly is and why it was attractive to begin with?
Niche alternatives are areas that remain uncorrelated with traditional assets, allowing for excess returns per unit of risk by investing before institutions crowd into them, with patient capital to weather cycles.
Finding Opportunities in Real Estate with KCB
Q: How do you hedge against regulatory changes in nursing-home investments?
We differentiate between skilled nursing facilities (driven by government reimbursements) and memory care/private-pay segments to balance regulatory risk. We monitor reimbursement rate trends, regulatory staffing costs, and ensure diversification across different care types to spread risk. We also rely on experienced operators and private pay models where appropriate, maintaining a long-term view and leveraging private-pay segments to cushion government-rate fluctuations.
From Farm to Portfolio: How Food Lending Delivers Cash Flow w/ Proterra
Q: What makes Proterra's approach to private credit distinct from other lenders in the market?
Proterra operates as a sector specialist in food and ag, partners with Farm Credit to form a unitranche-style loan that covers both senior and subordinate debt in one facility, and uses covenants to actively manage risk and protect lenders throughout the life of the loan.
