Phil Huber: The Case for Private Credit - [Making Markets, REPLAY]

February 28, 2025 • 43 mins

Today we are replaying my conversation with 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.
