   Episode 42 | Private Credit Secondaries: Growth, Liquidity and Opportunity

   CJ Doherty speaks with Greg Ciesielski, Head of Credit Secondaries at HarbourVest Partners, about the growth of private credit secondaries, what’s driving activity, sources of supply, investment strategies and the outlook for opportunities in the market. "The market's grown quite rapidly. It's been doubling year over year over the last four years," said Greg Ciesielski. Discussing the role of secondaries within private credit, he added: "So while the performance has actually been quite strong, the duration of the underlying funds has been very long, and that's led to the requirement to have a liquidity solution for an illiquid market.”

   Episode 41 | Islamic Finance in the Digital Assets Era

   In this discussion, Rene Michau, Global Head of Digital Assets, and Dr. Alaa Alaabed, Director-Group Islamic FM Products at Standard Chartered, join CJ Doherty to explore where digital financial infrastructure is heading and how Islamic finance can be embedded into trusted digital rails to broaden participation, improve execution, and unlock new opportunities for cross-border business. "The challenge with all tokenisation at the moment is the scaling of the underlying infrastructure,” said Rene Michau. “We need Islamic banks to be able to provide custody for these assets, to be able to provide execution, to allow clients to access them, and to allow those to move to venues for distribution, and for all of that to be working together."
