Alternative Investing: Alts For All - [Business Breakdowns, EP.234]

 This is Matt Reustle. Today, we are back to talk about increased access to alternative investing. My guest is Josh Clarkson, managing director at Prosek Partners. You may remember that Josh joined us last year in our primer series on private credit. He is back today to discuss what this development could mean for all the counterparties involved. We put some numbers around the opportunity, cover what asset managers might be best positioned to capture it, the strategies that most naturally fit, and some of the risks to the investor base. It is a fascinating theme that I expect to continue gaining momentum.
