Private credit faces systemic redemption risks
The speakers presented a bearish case for private credit, arguing that the sector is experiencing a slow-motion shadow bank run.
The argument
They noted that offshore institutional investors are aggressively seeking redemptions from major alternative asset managers due to concerns over hidden leverage and deteriorating economic fundamentals. The speakers warned that redemption gates will only temporarily delay inevitable asset write-downs as underlying business defaults rise.

- ✓Increased implementation of redemption gates by firms like Apollo or Blackstone
- ✓Write-downs of underlying private credit assets to fraction-of-dollar values
▸ Risks discussed

- ▸Asset managers could successfully restructure underlying loans to avoid defaults
Hear it yourself
"I almost never do ads, and I say no to the vast majority of those that are brought to my attention. But I was thrilled to be able to work with today's video sponsor, Monetary Metals. And the reason is because they're solving a big problem, one that I've been highlighting for a very long period of time. Gold is a safe haven, but other than sitting in a vault, it doesn't do anything. Monetary metals fixes that. They let you earn real yield, paid in physical gold without giving up ownership. It's not a fund. It's not a paper claim. It's your gold working for you. Every month, more gold gets deposited into your account."
