The collapse of the Sydney property developer Bathla Group has put private credit - and its risks - firmly in the spotlight. But is the sector facing a crisis, or simply going through a normal investment cycle?

Sean Aylmer speaks with Alan Greenstein, CEO and co-founder of Zagga, about his take on the current situation. They discuss what's changed in real estate private credit, why investors are becoming more focused on capital preservation than headline returns, and why global capital continues to see opportunity in Australia.

Zagga is a supporter of Fear & Greed.
