Randy Schwimmer, Co-Head of Senior Lending from Churchill Asset Management, joins APB to discuss the use of private credit in portfolio diversification, trends in investor appetite, and where future demand will emerge from. He also shares why size, scale and expertise will be increasingly important for managers – key factors behind Nuveen’s expansion of its private credit capabilities.
