*Private credit headlines have been dominated by fear — rising default chatter, stretched covenants, and whispers of a cycle turn. But the underlying fundamentals tell a very different story. BDCs are trading near multi-year lows, dividend yields are elevated, and the publicly listed LBO ecosystem is arguably mispriced heading into the next leg of the rate cycle. We’re cutting through the noise live, and you can earn CE credit while you’re at it.*

**WHAT WE’LL COVER**

● The real state of private credit — what the default headlines are missing, and why BSL and private credit stats aren’t apples-to-apples

● Why BDCs are trading near multi-year lows at \~0.83x book value — and what that’s historically meant for forward returns

● How actively managed exposure to the publicly listed LBO ecosystem differs from passive BDC index products

● Where the income opportunity is — dividend yields north of 6% with underwriting quality that hasn’t broken

● Positioning for the rest of 2026: rate path, spread dynamics, and the case for liquid private equity exposure
