True North(@TNorth):$100 of required capital can become $34 without changing the underlying loans. Jeff explains how insurers can hold B-rated private credit directly, or package those same assets into CLOs and tranche the risk from AAA down to equity. Even if they buy back 100% of the same underlying exposure, the capital requirement can fall from $100 to roughly $34. That difference is where the arbitrage comes in. “There’s capital arbitrage, rating agency arbitrage within this marketplace.”
