Show Notes

In this episode, we host Marc Utay, Founder and Managing Partner at Clarion Capital Partners, to dive deep into the art and science of middle-market private equity and structured credit. Marc shares lessons from over four decades in dealmaking: how he picks control investments, how Clarion balances growth vs risk, why the firm moved into the CLO/structured-credit space, and what being an independent player brings in today’s volatile financial environment. If you’re interested in PE deals, credit, deal structure, or scaling investment firms, this episode gives you first-hand insights. (ION Analytics)
