Coffee with Bill: Inside ABS East What the Boom in Debt Markets Really Means
ABOUT THE EPISODE
The mood at this year’s ABS East Conference in Miami Beach, FL was electric — record attendance, booming deal flow, and talk of endless opportunity.
But beneath the optimism, cracks are showing.
Grab your coffee and join me for this episode of Debt Doctor. I’m sharing candid insights from Miami’s ABS East Conference — from rising auto-lender bankruptcies to inflated valuations and the tightening grip of regulators.
Let’s drill down what’s really driving the asset-backed securities surge, where private credit is headed next, and why the current market feels eerily reminiscent of the Bernie Madoff era.
And pull back the curtain on what investors need to see now — accountability in private credit, realistic valuations, and caution around the shifting landscape of securitization. Because when confidence expands faster than capacity, the reckoning is never far behind.
Tune in as I reveal:
• Why “booming” markets often mask deeper distress
• What the rise in auto loan bankruptcies signals for debt investors
• How oversight and enforcement are about to reshape the credit cycle
• What seasoned investors are watching as private credit heats up
Whether you’re managing a fund, structuring deals, or simply trying to read the signals beneath the noise — this episode gives you the context behind the headlines.
