Trinity Capital's Brown sees BDC opportunity amid investor frustration

Kyle Brown, Chief Executive Officer at Trinity Capital, gives his outlook for the private credit and lending space, and notes that there could be some challenges for business development companies and private lenders late in the current economic cycle because returns from private credit generally have been declining. That has meant single-digit leveraged returns, Brown says, so "Investors are not happy." That, in turn, has led to redemptions in private funds and falling stock prices. Still, Brown says, that has created some opportunities for lenders and investors who keep digging to find gems; he sees the technology sector and continued capital expenditure spending as being particularly robust in the year ahead.
