Private credit has become one of Australia's fastest-growing asset classes. But with higher interest rates, a slowing economy and growing pressure in parts of the property market, investors are asking whether the next credit crunch is around the corner.

Sean Aylmer speaks with Laurence Hart, CEO of Corval Avenue, about whether Australia's debt markets can withstand a more volatile environment, where the opportunities and risks lie in private credit today, and why he believes pockets of distress could create opportunities for well-positioned investors. Hart explains why he still sees plenty of liquidity in the market, how to choose a private credit manager, and where private credit fits within a diversified investment portfolio.
