The Takeaway with Troy Gayeski: Embrace alternatives or be left behind?
Join Chief Market Strategist Troy Gayeski as he dives into the latest mega trends. Troy sits down with Content Strategist Harrison Beck to examine what’s driving growth in private credit markets, the reason investors are embracing middle market private equity and why exploring alternatives could be essential to staying competitive for financial professionals.
“There's a reason why large institutions in some cases have 80 percent of their capital in alternatives. They're not doing it for their health. They're doing it because in certain areas there are meaningful alpha propositions or excess return above and beyond what you can get in public markets.”—Troy Gayeski
