“Our desk has already begun seeing cracks in the market that have highlighted opportunities investors will capitalize on here in 2024. How long will the runway last? Or, has the runway just begun?

“When I’m asked to share one piece of advice that I think is crucial to being successful in the note business it’s “Always put Relationships before Transactions”. That is something I have always strived to do since I got started in the note business in 1990. The lesson I learned way back then was if you want to keep a client for the long term so that loyalty is in place and transactions just spin off that relationship, put relationships before transactions.”
