The speaker tackles investor concerns head-on, including questions about valuation accuracy, software sector concentration, and rising defaults. Drawing on BCRD portfolio data — including EBITDA growth, debt service coverage improvements, and loan-to-value ratios — the case is made that the portfolio is well-positioned. The speaker also notes that private credit vehicles' low leverage makes them resilient even as default rates normalise toward historical averages.
