My guest this week is Phil Huber, the Head of Portfolio Solutions at Cliffwater. The private credit market has exploded recently, with Assets under management reaching a staggering $1.2T last year. I’ve been a little skeptical of this asset class, so I asked Phil to come on and convince me otherwise. We talk about the demand side of the equation, whether we are in a bubble, downside protection, due diligence, volatility and more. Phil also covers his backstory and his unique role at Cliffwater. Please enjoy this conversation with Phil Huber.
