Written by Measured Wealth Private Client Group, LLC | Apr 16, 2026 9:00:00 AM

This episode explores the growing role of private equity and private credit in modern portfolios, breaking down how these alternative investments operate and how they differ from traditional stocks and bonds. George is joined by Ed Miller and investment analyst Craig Cooper to discuss the benefits, risks, and increasing mainstream interest in these markets, including concerns around liquidity, transparency, leverage, and valuation practices. They also examine recent stress in private credit markets and what it could mean as these strategies move closer to everyday investors, including potential inclusion in 401(k) plans. Finally, the conversation shifts to macroeconomic forces shaping today’s markets, including inflation, interest rates, geopolitical conflict, and their ripple effects on gold and oil.
