This week, we tackle part of the private credit universe that doesn’t
often get much airtime. That’s ‘crossover credit’ – or in other
words, the part of the market that sits between investment-grade and
sub-investment-grade credit.
Talking us through this episode is Stu Hitchcock, L&G’s Head of
Private Credit Portfolio Management. Stu addresses the size of the
crossover market, the types of deals that may utilise this form of
credit and how it may fit into a portfolio.
Asking the questions is Nick Jardine, Content Manager for L&G’s
Private Markets platform.
