73. What It Takes to Be a Credit Investor Feat. Ty Wallach
In the second of our three SALT iConnections interview series, we sat down with Ty Wallach, a living legend in the credit investing world.
Ty was a partner and portfolio manager at Oak Hill and Paulson, two of the most successful and famous names in investing over the past three decades, and is currently the CIO of Credit at Atlas Merchant Capital.
We spoke with Ty about his role as an investor in both the debt and equity during the Caesars Palace Coup (check out episodes 39, 40 and 41 for a deep dive into one of the most infamous deals of all time!), how Paulson made billions investing during the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, relative value investing within the capital structure of a company, the Orwellian relationship between the markets and economic data in the current environment, and about the optimal paths to pursuing a career as a credit investor, specifically with regard to the merits of the CFA for advancement along that path.
A must listen for anyone interested in public markets or private credit investing!
