Meet the Investor Series: Kelli Marti, Churchill Asset Management

01.04.2025

In this episode of Meet the Investor, we sit down with Kelli Marti, Senior Managing Director and Portfolio Manager at Churchill Asset Management, a leading US private credit firm with over $50 billion in committed capital. Kelli shares her insights into the traditional US middle market – businesses with $50 million EBITDA on average – and why this segment can offer attractive yields, conservative capital structures, and tight covenants. We unpack how Churchill leverages its deep relationships with top-tier private equity sponsors, the benefits of being a lead agent, and how they manage risk.

We also explore the differences between private and public lending markets, the growing interest in private credit from investors, and discuss potential market saturation, and the impact of increased regulatory scrutiny.
