Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bull Run in Loans Slams CLO Equity Buyers, Says Eagle Point’s Majewski
Q: Where do you see the best relative value right now?
Best value appears in strategies like middle-market infrastructure lending, equipment financing, and selective regulatory capital relief, with a shift toward disciplined issuance and selective third-party equity involvement.
Bull Run in Loans Slams CLO Equity Buyers, Says Eagle Point’s Majewski
Q: So what does that mean for the loans, though?
The loans likely have a runway for refinancing in the next two to four years, with many borrowers able to refinance before maturity, even as AI headwinds create some longer-term uncertainty.
Wellington Passes on Data Center Debt, Questioning Long-Term Value
Q: What risks keep you up at night in IG private credit and private real estate?
Key concerns include illiquidity premia normalization, potential liquidity-driven credit stress in the private markets, and ensuring robust underwriting with flexible, well-structured protections; ongoing dialogue with managers helps calibrate expectations and guardrails.
Wellington Passes on Data Center Debt, Questioning Long-Term Value
Q: But investment grade, private, commercial real estate, structured, and growth lending are the four areas of most interest; how do you see private vs public competition evolving?
The market is increasingly interconnected; borrowers will choose across banks, public bonds, and private credit depending on flexibility, structuring, and disclosure needs. Private credit will complement, not merely compete with, public markets, and the edge comes from cross-market capabilities and tailored structures.
Real Estate Is Next Bet for Debt Investors Avoiding Private Credit
Q: What role do you see for regulation and policy in your business going forward?
Policy aimed at increasing housing supply and reforming financing can be net positive by reducing barriers to building and renting, while maintaining protections for borrowers and investors; we expect ongoing adjustments but overall supportive momentum for housing supply and financing.
