Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mom-and-Pop Buyers Pounce on Battered Hyperscaler Bonds, Says Seelaus
Q: The data center is a good investment right now?
Seelaus recommends being selective and assessing each investment individually, including contract terms, the expected date of operations, the timing of AI-related cash flows and whether the projects can withstand delays or community opposition.
Mom-and-Pop Buyers Pounce on Battered Hyperscaler Bonds, Says Seelaus
Q: But as a retail participant, would you not prefer the equity given the massive sales forecasts and the massive upside that everyone's seeing?
Seelaus agrees that bond investors do not share in equity upside, but says some retail investors are concerned that the stock-market run may not continue. Bonds offer an attractive alternative, particularly for new investment money.
TCW Chops Credit Risk to Lowest in 30 Years as CCCs ‘Cry Uncle’
Q: Is there a bigger potential contagion risk from that lower level of credit?
Whalen says CCC-rated borrowers are the weakest and tend to show distress first, but pressure can spread to single-B and double-B borrowers, making CCC stress an early warning for broader credit markets.
TCW Chops Credit Risk to Lowest in 30 Years as CCCs ‘Cry Uncle’
Q: You've been doing this a long time, 30 years, as Jody says, but you've never had such low exposure. Why is that, Brian, and how does it work in practice?
Whalen says credit spreads are exceptionally tight and do not compensate for the risks he sees. TCW holds less corporate credit than its benchmarks and shifts that exposure into alternatives such as securitized bonds.
Blackstone Is Predicting a Big Surge in Quant Credit Investing
Q: How do AI and data analytics influence decision making in investment selection?
AI enhances efficiency in data processing, reporting, and coding; advanced models help re-underwrite credits daily, derive forward-looking signals from fundamentals, and identify non-obvious linkages or cohorts for comparing and pricing credits.
