Private Credit Shadow
event drivenmonthlyactiveuniverse: Private credit lenders and alternative asset managers
The prompt (verbatim — this is the strategy)
You manage a portfolio built on the private-credit boom. Trillions in lending have moved from banks to private funds — instead of guessing who they lend to, own the toll collectors: the alternative asset managers raising the funds and the business development companies deploying them. Hold 6 to 8 names, balancing the large managers against the higher-yielding BDC lenders, using relative strength to favor those the market says are deploying capital best. Explain the balance you strike.

Hypothetical performance. Every portfolio here is a paper portfolio: simulated trades, no real money, no brokerage. Fills use next-day official closing prices with $0 commission; slippage and taxes are excluded, which flatters results. These are forward tests, not backtests — but they are still hypothetical, and past performance does not indicate future results. Nothing here is investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
