Frank Danieli of MA Financial Group emphasizes that in the growing private credit market, sourcing quality loans is more critical than fundraising. The firm focuses on building proprietary origination channels through its own lending businesses and strategic partnerships, rather than solely relying on external relationships.
“Your problem was not going to be gathering AUM, your problem was going to be sourcing good quality loans, and the ability to produce those loans through cycles.”
“Everyone says they have proprietary origination, and what people often mean by it is I've got great professionals with lots of relationships in the market. And that's a part of proprietary origination. We felt it was important to have platforms, that's why we have the non-bank lending business, our own lending business that can lend in certain areas of the economy and produce assets that our funds can own.”
