How I Invest with David Weisburd · E289: The Evolution of Private Credit and What Comes Next · 23 Jan 2026 podcast

Absolutely.

You know, you got to be introspective.

You got to be always learning.

You know, even at my age and my vintage, you know, you're always learning from folks.

And that's the other thing I love about this business is we get to touch, you know, some of the biggest...

successes and brightest minds in investing in private credit at all of these great firms.

And even at smaller boutique firms, they're just people that just had a myriad of different experiences, have invested through so many different cycles, have had successes and failures.

And being able to talk to all those people all the time, I think just makes us better investors and better partners.

That's probably one of the biggest benefits of being in credit secondaries and being in secondaries generally, all of the smart GPs that we get to work with, as well as just the interactions we have with LPs as well.

There's a lot of talent on that side of the street.

And those folks oversee not just things in private credit, but they see across multiple asset classes and also have, I think, very unique vantage points in terms of how they see the market, how they think about risk, and therefore how they think about investing.

So it's a fun spot to be in.

For a lot of investors institutionally that have already been in private credit,

They are looking at their direct lending book saying, well, we don't need 10 direct lenders anymore.

Maybe we only need five.

And we want to complement to that strategy.

So I think in some cases, they're taking those dollars from traditional fixed income or they're taking it from existing allocations where they might already be overexposed to that sub-asset class.

I think a lot of investors also who want to pursue opportunistic strategies look at the world of those other assets

opportunistic credit categories and say to themselves, it's pretty daunting out there.

There's 1,100 credit managers out there globally, 360 plus direct lenders just in North America.
