Chief Investment Officer is pleased to bring to you this special edition of the CIO Alert sponsored by Nuveen and focused on private credit. Nuveen believes private credit has historically been an attractive investment, offering many levers to help institutional investors create value. But investment scale, experience and access to relationships are essential. Nuveen works with investors to consider specific allocations to private credit, scrutinizing whether the compensation is adequate for the lack of liquidity by considering such factors as investment time horizon, other sources of income and levels and variability of other income stream sources.
