For episode 654 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Jason Dehni of BlackOpal.BlackOpal is an on-chain asset management and payments platform bridging investment-grade yield with emerging market receivables. The problem they're solving is twofold: High-quality merchants in emerging markets pay above-market premiums for working capital, not because they're risky, but because legacy banking is expensive, slow, and opaque. Meanwhile, institutional capital in developed markets is starved for low-risk emerging market yield.BlackOpal specializes in credit card receivables, underwriting based on historical and real time transactions, and acquiring them via short-duration True Sale structures. Credit risk is further minimized through repayment by AA+ counterparties like Visa and Mastercard, resulting in near zero credit default. Currency risk is hedged via Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDFs). ⏳ Timestamps: (0:00) Introduction(0:51) Who is Jason Dehni?(3:03) What is Black Opal?(6:15) Gemstone vs. LiquidStone II(8:27) User protection & transparency(10:43) What makes Black Opal unique?(13:15) Where are Black Opal's products available?(15:04) Future opportunities in the Digital Asset market(19:35) Tokenization in the near future(23:50) Black Opal roadmap 2026(25:49) Events & conferences(27:08) Black Opal website & socials

In this special episode, we discuss our partnership with Blackstone, the world's largest alternative asset manager. We also offer an overview of private credit and look at the role the asset class could play alongside public credit within investor portfolios. Our speakers are Jo McCaffrey, Chief Strategy and Product Officer, Asset Management, L&G; and Brad Marshall, Global Head of Private Credit Strategies at Blackstone. Other topics covered include: · The reasons behind the rapid growth of private credit · Key investor considerations around the asset class, in particular for the UK Wealth market · Blackstone's approach to underwriting investments to mitigate risk The podcast was recorded on 30 October and was moderated by Max Julius, Head of Content, Asset Management, L&G. Source for comments on private credit's history of strong performance: "Leveraged Loans” as represented by Morningstar LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan Index. “Private Credit” as represented by Cliffwater Direct Lending Indexfrom September 30, 2005 through June 30, 2025, which is latest publicly available data. Total return reflects the sum of annualised income return, annualised realised gain / loss and annualised unrealized gain / loss during the period. For professional investors only. Capital at risk.
Kyle Brown, CEO of Trinity Capital (TRIN), explains how the alternative asset management company works and how they partner with nascent companies to put them on the path towards IPOs. Kyle digs into the private credit market, which has become more popular as fewer companies come to public markets. He addresses skepticism of the industry – “not all private credit is made the same” – and why returns are dropping in some areas of the sector. He stresses, though, that he hasn't seen cracks in credit itself.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this extended deep dive, guest host Raymond Pang, Senior Researcher at CFA Institute, speaks with Greg Fisher, CFA, about how complexity science can offer a richer lens for understanding uncertainty, market behavior, and the limitations of traditional financial models. Building on themes explored in our recent episode with Richard Bookstaber and Genevieve Hayman — including feedback loops, emergent dynamics, and the need for more adaptive approaches to risk — Fisher expands the discussion to the historical roots of the mechanistic mindset and why a systems-based perspective may benefit investment practitioners. The conversation explores how narratives, structural change, and evolving patterns shape asset prices, and how asset managers can incorporate complexity-informed insights into their research and decision-making.
