Knowing your place, with Hayfin's Carlos Pla

In the realm of private credit, thinking local is a must. Which means knowing your place can determine whether an investment will succeed or generate losses.

For this week's episode of Cloud 9fin, senior reporter Bianca Boorer sits down with Hayfin's Carlos Pla. They talk about the nuance of private credit special situations in Europe, how it differs from the US market and what it takes to succeed in the various European jurisdictions.

Carlos is a portfolio manager for Hayfin's special opportunities strategy and chairman of the investment committee for the special opportunities, tactical credit, healthcare and private equity solutions strategies.
