In Alternative Views, Private Equity Wire® goes behind closed doors with those in the know to get the latest on private markets. In this episode we discuss European private credit with Marcus Maier-Krug, partner and co-head of portfolio management at Arcmont Asset Management.
In 2023, the firm was acquired by Nuveen, the asset management arm of TIAA. Together with US-based Churchill Asset Management, it makes up Nuveen’s private capital division.
