Wellington Passes on Data Center Debt, Questioning Long-Term Value
Data-center debt returns are falling, risk is rising and there’s uncertainty over what the properties may be worth in the long run, Wellington Management says. “We think a lot about that replacement value when evaluating data centers,” Sonali Wilson, the $1.3 trillion manager’s lead investment director for private credit, tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s David Havens in the latest Credit Edge podcast. “Today, I’ll say — not every situation — but, by and large, it’s a pass,” she says. They also discuss commercial real estate investment strategies, how to position for AI disruption and why Wellington is building out a private-debt platform now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bull Run in Loans Slams CLO Equity Buyers, Says Eagle Point’s Majewski
Collateralized loan obligations face a second straight year of equity losses, according to Eagle Point Credit Management, a major buyer. “Where we stand right now, it’s certainly possible,” Tom Majewski, the $14 billion private-credit manager’s founder and managing partner, says in this episode of the Credit Edge podcast, when asked about the chance of negative returns. “While there were some credit problems, oddly the bigger issue was the bull market and repricing of loans,” Majewski tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Reto Bachmann. They also discuss software-loan stress, business-development-company turmoil, lower returns in significant risk transfers and how Eagle Point is diversifying into hard assets like midmarket infrastructure lending.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sona’s CEO Sees ‘Exciting’ Growth in Asset-Based Finance, SRTs
Sona Asset Management is looking to expand its business in asset-based finance and significant risk transfers as public and private debt markets converge. “The thing that excites us the most is the scope for growth in ABF markets here in Europe,” Henrik Johnsson, the London-based hedge fund’s chief executive officer, tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Aidan Cheslin in the latest Credit Edge podcast. “We really like SRTs, although spreads have obviously come in a lot over the last couple of years,” Johnsson adds. They also discuss how to short corporate debt, software-loan distress, secondary sales of private credit assets and investing in the AI boom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SpaceX Bondholders Face Huge Key Person Risk on Their Elon Musk Trip
SpaceX bondholders are bolstered by a fat equity cushion, high-grade ratings and a relatively small amount of debt outstanding — but they depend on founder Elon Musk, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. “There’s a huge risk there, and the rating agencies have actually pointed this out in terms of governance,” Robert Schiffman, BI senior technology credit analyst, tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie in this special episode of the Credit Edge podcast. “You’re absolutely on an Elon Musk trip — his vision and his ability to raise money is a large portion of this company right now,” adds George Ferguson, BI senior equity analyst for aerospace, defense and airlines. The trio also discuss poor secondary performance in SpaceX bonds, relative value compared with the equity, and credit-market risks if AI flops.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Europe's Largest Asset Manager Warns of AI Debt Deluge Crowding Out
Further acceleration in AI debt issuance has the potential to steer demand away from government bonds, according to Amundi, Europe’s largest asset manager. “At some point it could have a crowding effect, but we are not there yet,” Gregoire Pesques, the firm’s chief investment officer for global fixed income, tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Tolu Alamutu in the latest Credit Edge podcast. “It’s a risk that we monitor,” says Pesques, whose company has $2.7 trillion under management. They also discuss value in corporate debt relative to government bonds, how G7 countries are behaving more like emerging markets and Amundi’s concerns about central bank independence.

Real Estate Is Next Bet for Debt Investors Avoiding Private Credit
Private credit disarray spells opportunity for housing giant Pretium, which targets high returns by lending to US homebuilders. “Our private credit looks a little bit different than other private credit in the sense that we are secured, we have real good downside protection,” Jon Pruzan, the company’s co-president, tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Erica Adelberg in this episode of the Credit Edge podcast. “We have a lot of people who want capital and not a lot of people providing capital — that puts us in an opportunity to continue to generate attractive returns,” says Pruzan, who was previously chief financial officer at Morgan Stanley. They also discuss housing fundamentals, opportunity by region, how Pretium achieves midteens returns and political risks going into the November US midterm elections.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Goldman Sachs Sees ‘Uncomfortable Tension’ in Credit Markets
Robust demand from pensions and insurance companies will support corporate debt through macroeconomic headwinds and record supply, according to Goldman Sachs. “Spreads are tight to the prewar levels when the facts on the ground have unquestionably become more challenging,” Amanda Lynam, Goldman’s chief credit strategist, tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Robert Schiffman in the latest Credit Edge podcast. “That is this uncomfortable tension that we have in the credit market,” Lynam says. “Sentiment around the yield-based buyer is really in the driver’s seat.” They also discuss the AI funding boom, private-credit risks, CCC underperformance and where to find value in structured products.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
