Summary
What if the best investments aren’t the riskiest—but the ones everyone else can’t own? In this episode, I sit down with Keri Findley, Founder and CEO of Tacora Capital, to discuss how she built one of the most differentiated credit strategies by focusing on illiquidity, not risk. Keri explains how dislocations are often driven by forced sellers and structural constraints, why the best credit opportunities come from creating assets rather than just finding them, and how she partners with startups to finance products banks won’t touch. We also explore portfolio construction, why scaling is the hardest problem in credit, and how incentives, ethics, and alignment ultimately determine outcomes.
