Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Capital Gets Creative in a Higher-for-Longer World
Q: How has private credit changed conversations with clients and what does it mean for advisory services?
Private credit has become a dominant force, expanding the options for recapitalizations, LBOs, and direct lending, which the advisory practice is now building to help clients portfolio-manage and navigate newer capital pools.
Capital Gets Creative in a Higher-for-Longer World
Q: What's driving the focus on smaller sub-$300 million capital structures and how does market access influence this strategy?
Smaller opportunities offer greater market access diversification and a higher probability of targeting tailored solutions, especially when larger mega-credits are less accessible; this enables more value creation and higher odds of winning in the current environment.
Capital Gets Creative in a Higher-for-Longer World
Q: Vinod, talk about the group you formed and the people you've added to your team.
The group is a team of professionals who embody Solomon's culture and depth, focused on adding value for clients and partners through a practical, value-driven approach to capital solutions.
Navigating Exits, Capital, and Continued Volatility in 2026
Q: Is AI creating more underwriting risk or opportunity for margins in private equity?
It's both: underwriting risk rises as firms assess disintermediation and margin impact, but AI could improve margins if it enhances efficiency and revenue, leading committees to weigh these factors in investment decisions.
Navigating Exits, Capital, and Continued Volatility in 2026
Q: How has the role of continuation vehicles and secondaries evolved in this cycle?
They've shifted a significant amount of primary deal activity into the secondary market as portfolios get stuck in funds; continuation vehicles are now a central tool for returning capital to LPs while managing taxonomy of assets and fund lifecycles.
