As banks pull back from certain lending markets and consumer behaviors evolve, asset-based credit stands out for its short duration, high yield, and low correlation to corporate credit. But what does this asset class really entail, and how can investors navigate its complexities? On this episode of Disruptive Forces , host Anu Rajakumar welcomes Sachin Patel, Managing Director on the Specialty Finance team, to demystify asset-based credit and its expanding role in portfolios. Together, they explore the differences between alpha and beta strategies, discuss the impact of technology and consumer trends, and share practical insights for investors looking to access this dynamic and defensive asset class.
