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 why the need for direct, larger, and more flexible financing is sticky and likely to be reinforced by an increasingly uncertain macroeconomic backdrop.
In a wide-ranging conversation, this episode explores the structural trends driving demand for private credit, how tariffs are impacting corporate borrowers, the growing use of PIK finance, and a modern approach to core plus fixed income.
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.
