## Resource

In this episode of the Know More. Risk Better. podcast, host Zachary Griffiths is joined by Peter Simon, Head of US Banks, and Simon Adamson, Head of European Banks, to examine rising investor concerns around private credit and bank exposure. They explore whether current risks echo 2008, discussing regulatory changes, capital strength, and why a systemic crisis appears unlikely. The conversation analyzes how banks lend to private credit funds, BDCs, and business credit intermediaries, focusing on structure, collateral, and capital impact. They also assess market pricing signals, default risk, and exposure metrics such as total loans and CET1 capital. The episode compares US and European bank exposure, highlights regulatory scrutiny, and addresses software and AI-related credit concerns. It concludes with insights on monitoring private credit risk without losing sight of broader bank fundamentals. Listen now for a clear, data-driven view of private credit and bank risk across global markets and evolving credit cycles in 2026 and investor positioning.
