Ryan Ripp, COO – Flat Rock Global (EP.59)

Ryan Ripp is the co-president and COO at Flat Rock Global, an alternative credit manager specializing in the junior tranches of CLOs.
If you read anything about the industry, the headlines are often about how alternatives are making their way to the wealth channel. The thing I always turn to is how is this going to work operationally. There are so many aspects to explore like access, education, investment process, legal, onboarding, distribution, and tax reporting. To dig into the details, I turn to Ryan for some answers.
Ryan shares his insight on how Flat Rock sees interval funds as an innovative structure for retail alternatives. We discussed some of the operational mechanics for a daily NAV, ongoing liquidity management, and service provider coordination that is different than the traditional private fund practices.
With retail alternatives experiencing rapid growth across the industry and many players entering the space, it's an area to pay attention to.
