Investors Now Have a Unique Way to Combine Public and Private Investments

September 17, 2023

Investors historically allocate funds to separately managed public credit and private credit strategies. As an alternative, they can now leverage the strengths of both markets through PPM America's Investment Grade Public/Private Credit Strategy, which can provide greater yield/spread potential, diversification and financial protections. This spotlight showcases how the potential benefits inherent in the strategy may be relevant to your investment goals.
