Playing it smart with private credit

Investment Executive

With market volatility top of mind, investors are looking for ways to stay steady.

Craig Machel, Senior Portfolio Manager at Richardson Wealth, shares how he helps clients navigate uncertainty by building portfolios designed for stability not just growth.

“It’s all about the asset mix,” he says. Private credit income, for example, “can be really consistent.” The client gets stability during market downturns and stays invested, “and thereby we’re compounding returns quicker rather than recovering from declines.”

Smart diversification takes work but it can pay off in the long run.
