Our December Alternative Investor is out, where our guests explore the fast-growing world of private credit.   In the news, November was a very good month for most hedge funds as they profited from the Trump bounce, although some of the more EM-focused funds struggled against headwinds.

BlackRock acquired HPS Investment Partners. Blackstone announced a JV with EQT Corporation.
