XA's Flynn on how private credit market is challenging BDCs, interval funds
About this episode
Kim Flynn discusses the impact of recent private credit market events on BDCs and interval funds, emphasizing the need for better investor education.
Kim Flynn, president at XA Investments , a firm that specializes in alternative investments, says recent private-credit bad news events have widened discounts and raised concerns over business-development companies and interval funds, but have likely created a buy-the-dip moment in the industry. She discusses how fund sponsors and advisers must do a better job educating investors on how these products get through worrisome times, but says she does not think the headlines or their attendant challenges on direct lenders will discourage yield-hungry private-credit investors in the long run.
