2026 has tested every assumption behind portfolio construction. A year that began on solid earnings and a gradual path toward the Fed's inflation target was jolted by fresh geopolitical shocks, forcing investors to defend risk-asset exposure while staying nimble across public and private credit. Against this backdrop, private credit is no longer a satellite allocation sized in isolation: it's increasingly a core piece of the whole portfolio, sitting alongside public credit rather than bolted on beside it.
In this opening session, Lori Heinel brings a multi-asset CIO's view to the credit conversation: how to weigh private credit's income and diversification benefits against public credit's liquidity, when to lean into each as the macro backdrop shifts, and what staying agile means when one portfolio spans both markets.
