About

Wall Street's favorite show. We're Kristen and Jen: two ex-Morgan Stanley bankers, Ivy League grads, and lifelong best friends — trusted by Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, and Harvard Business School. We cover everything from billion-dollar deals, to Fed rate decisions to HBO's Industry on the red carpet, with the energy and excitement these topics deserved. New episodes 3x a week. This is the show Wall Street watches.

Video Description

We are kicking off our multi-part foray into the world of Private Credit --- arguably the most talked-about investment vertical of 2024 --- with brilliant and hilarious Keri Findley, founder and CEO of Tacora Capital. If you're interested in learning about Securitized Products, prestigious exit opportunities from the Sales, Trading, & Research division of an Investment Bank, or the career path towards landing a job in Private Credit, this episode is a MUST LISTEN. Keri is our first guest who has a background in Securitized Products, and she has a superpower of being able to explain complex concepts in a simple way. Keri walks us through her early career in ABS CDO research at Morgan Stanley, her quick exit to the buyside --- where she was a Portfolio Manager at Third Point in her mid-20s (!!) --- and the journey of starting her own Private Capital Firm. With Keri, we also explore the themes of how blurred the lines can be between our personal and professional lives on Wall Street. Her candid discussion of what she did to fit in early on in her career, how she handles gossip and negativity, and her decision to have her employees sign prenups on their carry illuminates the complexities of being a senior female investor in today's world.
