In a new episode of The View from Apollo podcast, Apollo’s Chief Economist Torsten Slok and Jim Vanek, Partner and Co-Head of Global Performing Credit, discuss the persistent demand for large, flexible direct lending solutions and how that’s reinforced by an increasingly uncertain macroeconomic backdrop.
This episode explores the structural trends driving demand for private credit, how tariffs are impacting corporate borrowers, the industry’s growing use of PIK finance, a modern approach to core plus fixed income and more.
The View from Apollo features conversations with thought leaders across Apollo and portfolio companies of funds managed by Apollo, each bringing their unique perspectives on current macroeconomic trends, the impact to various businesses, and what it can mean for investors.
