Insurance Investor spoke with Fred Chung, Partner & Head of Credit Underwriting, to gain his insight into why strong underwriting is a key determinant of success in private credit.
“The goal of underwriting is to ensure that, when you put a loan in your portfolio, you are taking a critical view on the five-year-outlook and validating that the lender can get their money back intact at par, even in the worst-case scenario. The only way to do that with consistency is to ensure that you have an in-depth approach to underwriting and that you clearly understand the businesses in which you are investing.”
