The early days of private credit, with Tim Lyne of Antares Capital

These days, private credit is becoming so popular that you could be forgiven for thinking it was a recent invention.

But some people were doing private credit before it was cool. Tim Lyne is one of those people — when he and a group of colleagues founded Antares Capital back in the nineties, the idea of a jumbo unitranche must have seemed like a pipe dream.

For this week’s episode of the Cloud 9fin podcast, our private credit editor David Brooke sat down with Tim to discuss the growth of the market, how managers are preparing for the credit cycle to turn, and where the biggest risks are right now.
