This week on the HPScast, host Colbert Cannon speaks with Seth Cohen, a leader of HPS's asset-based finance business. Seth traces his unconventional path from criminal investigator with the D.C. Public Defender to the Legal Aid Society, and eventually the business world, where he scaled specialty finance platforms at MagnaCare and Franklin Credit before moving to the investing side at Silver Point and building CarVal's asset-based finance business over 15 years. He and Colbert discuss what asset-based finance means, how the BlackRock combination impacts sourcing, and where Seth sees new opportunities as the platform scales.
