1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Bruce Richards, co founder and CEO of Marathon Asset Management,

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: and Bruce All the talk last week, of course was

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: about the FED, what they didn't do, but more importantly

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: what they're telegraphing and a market. When you look at

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: what's happening in treasuries and you look what's happening inequities

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: right now, it doesn't seem to think the Fed is

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: going to hold rates as high as they seem to

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: say they are.

9
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 2: Well, you could say that, or then you can just

10
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: listen to what the man had to say at the

11
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: pressure last week when FED Chairman Palell showed us the

12
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: dots and share with us that there will be only

13
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: one easing this year, it's a very far cry from

14
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: you know, six that was expected by the market coming

15
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: into the year. So, yes, the inflation number is getting

16
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: softer and trending down towards that you know two percent

17
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: goal that everyone wants to see, and it's really good news.

18
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: But here's the thing that I'm thinking about. If you're

19
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 2: FED chairman Pale, are you going to ease so quickly

20
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: when EPI markets are all time highs, job markets are

21
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: incredibly strong and rob lost and economy is strong because

22
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: if you were to ease, might it just inflate a

23
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: little bit more the economy, equity markets and cause these

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 2: animal spirits to come back and inflation to come back.

25
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: And so they're going to go I think, very very

26
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: slowly and very very cautiously. So you might expect one

27
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: ease or two eases and then a long pause to

28
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: see did it do anything to reinflate inflation?

29
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it is all this ends up being academic

30
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: to a certain extent because we keep talking about what

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: the Fed may or may not do. And the question

32
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: I really I guess I really have is does it matter,

33
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: right at least in the hearing now for the economy

34
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: and the markets. I mean, twenty five basis points, even

35
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: fifty basis points are easing.

36
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: Does that have a material us? Economy is so strong,

37
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: And the reason why it doesn't have a material impact

38
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: is because the Fed really doesn't matter. That's really hard

39
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: to say. No, they don't want to matter, given the

40
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: amount of fiscal stimulus has happened, and the fiscal stimuluss

41
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: has been so exorbit so huge, never before seen in

42
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: a growth market like we've had, and yet it came

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: through in trillions and trillions and trillions. We're talking about

44
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: Infrastructure Act, the Chips Acted, and many other acts that

45
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: at trillions of stimulus at the time the FED was tightening.

46
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: So I would say that you're right about that. It

47
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: is a bit academic because here we are at higher

48
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: rates and economy is just fine. You have to stay

49
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 2: bullish because the economy is strong, jobs are strong, stock market.

50
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: We're going to see what's going to happen with second

51
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: half earnings, and we're going to have record earnings in

52
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: the third and fourth quarter. So i'd say stay bullish

53
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: for equities and stay bullsh for credit as well, because

54
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: a higher rate environment that we're seeing is really really

55
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: bullsh for the bomb market. So let's get to that.

56
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: Okay, So the higher equity market, economy is really good.

57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 2: What's the bankruptcy situation?

58
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: Like, I mean, are we going to see the kind

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 3: of bankruptcies that everyone was quort of anticipating or the

60
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: weakness that we've been anticipating. What do you think?

61
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I'd start with the faultrates. The

62
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: faultrates are trending around four percent, and today about three

63
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: quarters of these defaults don't come from bankruptcies. Don't come

64
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 2: from Chapter eleven's They come from these LMA, these liability

65
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: management exercises or what the rating agencies referred to as

66
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: distrusted exchanges, where the creditors are crammed down they have

67
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: to receive a lower interest, payment less principle or termed

68
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: out debt, something that's adverse to them. Private equity is

69
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: very smart. They're very smart to start with in buying

70
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: companies and very smart when it comes to financial engineering.

71
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: And what they figured out is it's really costly to

72
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: put a company in bankruptcy, the business interruption cost, all

73
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: the legal costs that you go through when the company's

74
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: in bankruptcy for a year to two years, it's much

75
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: better to extract a pound of flesh from the creditors.

76
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: And with ninety percent of the brotherly syndicating loan market

77
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: being covenant light, they can do that quite efficiently by

78
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: taking assets, moving over to an unrestricted SOB, coming up

79
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: with new money solutions from folks like Marathon, who will

80
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: give the company, the private equity company, additional dollars right

81
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: to make it through and at the expense of existing creditors.

82
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: So what I would say is this is a very

83
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: favorable environment for the credit markets because while ninety to

84
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: ninety five percent of the markets can sustain these higher

85
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: rates and you're getting paid the best yields in the generation,

86
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: those other five to ten percent there's also a lot

87
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: to do for us opportunities and credit managers that are

88
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: providing capital solutions and these solutions for these distress exchanges.

89
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: It's part of that going to be in commercial real

90
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 3: estate because we haven't had that disaster that we've been

91
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: waiting for.

92
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: Commercial real estate is again like the pig for the python.

93
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: It's a slow process that's being worked through. So the

94
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 2: commercial real estate debt markets around six trillion dollars. About

95
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: half of that is held within the banks, and about

96
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: half of that is in the private credit sector between

97
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: the reads and the CMBs markets and so forth. So

98
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: the good news for commercial real estate is, and there's

99
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: very good news, is valuations are stabilized. It's a big market,

100
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: and there's lots of really attractive deals to do. That's

101
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: the good news. The bad news is that there's about

102
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: a trillion of this debt that's upside down where there's

103
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: no value left and the creditors have to work through

104
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: this process of workout, and so there's a big, huge

105
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 2: maturity wall.

106
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: I see the advantage of sort of doing these kind

107
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: of non bankruptcies whatever we want to call them, refinancings

108
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: or recapitalizations, if you will. Are we just kicking the

109
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: can down the road? Are we actually making these companies

110
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: healthier and in theory more sustainable.

111
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: They're more sustainable because in that process there's going to

112
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 2: be less debt, and the cram down itself usually relates

113
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: to less debt in certain cases. In other cases, you're right,

114
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: you're just kicking the can down the road and waiting

115
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: for a day out in the future. But if the

116
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 2: companies can then grow into those capital structures, that's a

117
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: very positive thing. And so quite often with these exercises

118
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: they actually can and sometimes you're right, they probably can't,

119
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: and then the bankruptcy waits down the line a year

120
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: or two years, you know, out in the future. But

121
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: in most cases, these new money solutions have the colatteral

122
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 2: that protects them, and so they're senior, they're secured, and

123
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 2: they have the colatter with the covenants in place, and

124
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: so it's really a good attractive way to put out money.

125
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 2: And I look across Marathon's book of all these capital

126
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: solutions are done and across industries, because private equity is

127
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: invested across industries, and you're seeing this high debt burden

128
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: not impact just one or two sectors, but really all industries.

129
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: Bruce, how do you think about the election? How do

130
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 3: you think about election risk right now?

131
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 2: Well, look at the election risks we just saw in France, right,

132
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: We're Macron called for an earlier election and he's still

133
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 2: going to remain president, but you know, the parliament is

134
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: up for grabs and it looks like his party's going

135
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: to lose a bunch of votes, and votes you are

136
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 2: going to go to the far right and far left.

137
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: And what did the stock market vote for? Well, the

138
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: CAC forty, which is the French stock market, was down

139
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: six point two percent on that news, and French bonds,

140
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: which are the odes, widen out twenty eight bases points

141
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: relative to buns. That's the biggest gap in debt versus

142
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: you know, our versus debt markets and equen markets versus

143
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: our eque marketers is up that we've seen in like

144
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: fifteen twenty years. So elections do matter, and we saw

145
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: that right there, right, And so six of the seven

146
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: G seven countries are up for election this year, and

147
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: so it's a big year. You're right, it's a year

148
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: of the election. Here in the United States, we have

149
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: a big election and although we try to stay away

150
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: from politics, this is going to affect markets in a

151
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: very big way. So think about several things. Number one,

152
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: the border itself. That's probably one of the top issues.

153
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: And people don't want to talk about border because it

154
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: doesn't relate to the comm me. Well, yes it does.

155
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: The number one driver of employment over the last three

156
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: years has been immigration. You take immigration out, jobs are flat,

157
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: and meanwhile they've been growing by leaps and bounds, hundreds

158
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: of thousands a month, you know, month after month for

159
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: three years now. We've had this great employment growth and

160
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: it's because of immigration. That's one factor. The second factor

161
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: is regulatory and regulatory capture and everything related to you know,

162
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: big government versus kind of pro business right. And so

163
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: when you think about the former president who wanted to

164
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: take a hands off approach to business versus the current administration,

165
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: President Biden and FTC, which has been kind of anti

166
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: these big M and A transactions, you'll see a very

167
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: different outcome. The investment bankers and corporate CEOs are probably

168
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: in lining up if the former president were elected to

169
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: announce deals sometime going into next year, versus kind of

170
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: hands off right now with certain these companies. And finally,

171
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: what I'd say is taxes. It's a very different tax

172
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: stand that President Bible would have versus versus the former

173
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: president with respective corporate taxes as we all know, and

174
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: what implications are there for companies as well as the

175
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: impact to higher taxes for the wealthy. So very different

176
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: policies and a lot on the line.

177
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: A lot of people would say very different policies, But

178
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: when you look at history, at some point it kind

179
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: of balance itself out, at least from an investment perspective.

180
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: Is there a point in time in this election cycle

181
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: where it is appropriate to actually act on the potential

182
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: for what could happen? Do you wait till after the election,

183
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: do you front run it, what do you do well?

184
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: One of the greatest trades of this last fifteen twenty

185
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 2: years is when President Obama was elected and knowing his

186
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: stance on healthcare and buying into healthcare companies in advance

187
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: of him taking office, and that had legs that took

188
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: us from years and years and years on and it's

189
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: still working to today based upon Obamacare and all the

190
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: policies and measures that we're put in place. So so yes,

191
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: I think these implications of what one administration, our current

192
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: administration might take versus the former administration might take is

193
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: very different, and we'll have implications for for sectors and

194
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,119
Speaker 2: for companies specifically.

195
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 3: One thing that seems to stay the same in all

196
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: the research that I read is that the budget deficit,

197
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: the physcal deficit's going to grow, like no matter who's

198
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: in the White House, there's me more money in different

199
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: ways coming in.

200
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: Do you think that's that effect?

201
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: Is that true?

202
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: Do you look at it like that?

203
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: Is there a long term behind your place?

204
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: It didn't used to be the case, but now I

205
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 2: think it more is the case and what's baked in,

206
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: and so I wouldn't disagree with that at all. Now,

207
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: is you know, rather disappointed, you know to see how

208
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 2: much the deficit grew during the Republican administration because I'm

209
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: all for you know, fiscal austerity or or you know,

210
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: fiscal strength and how it's you know, been relatively indifferent.

211
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: But what I would say is I think we'd have

212
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: slightly bigger depths with the current administration that we would

213
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 2: with the form administration, because I think the former administrations

214
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: learned from that and wants to downsize government and wants

215
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: to downsize a lot of the benefits that so many

216
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: folks have enjoyed in these last four years. And I

217
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: think there actually might be a little greater than what

218
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: the commentators are stating and versus what you've seen in

219
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: these last few years.

220
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: We'll only have about thirty seconds left. But on that point, though,

221
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: are we focusing too much on the president himself? I mean,

222
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: I think about the elections that we just had overseas

223
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: that was less about the man at the top and

224
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: more about the legislatures or the parliaments, And I wonder

225
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: if we're going to find ourselves in the same situation

226
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: here in the US, where who's in the White House

227
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: is going to matter less than what the complexion.

228
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 2: Of conquers point. Executive order will be the order of

229
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 2: the day, more executive or more executive order than that

230
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: we've ever seen going forward, because that rubicon has already

231
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 2: been crossing.

232
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, there's a great conversation. Always great to

233
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: have you, Richards. He's the CEO of Marathon Asset Management,
