I think inflation is going to continue to trend lower, and while AI isn\u2019t having any effect on inflation now, it ultimately will.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fitzpatrick said she expected the Fed could cut rates twice in 2026, provided the increase in oil prices does not last longer than three months. She also suggested the Fed should look through some of the AI boom, as rate adjustments of 50 bps in either direction are unlikely to impact the amount of AI-related capital expenditures taking place.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<h2><strong>AI\u2019s divide: Big tech advances as credit markets feel strain\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Software shares have taken a hit as AI disrupts the industry, but Fitzpatrick still sees pockets of opportunity. Even in the public sector, she says, some software names will be winners.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, large companies using their operating leverage to spend large amounts of capital on tech are creating a moat relative to competitors, and those advantages will become very apparent over the next 12 to 24 months: \u201cAI is going to play to people who are bigger and can make big investments structurally.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the private credit markets, the pickup in redemption requests across several private credit funds is being driven in part by investors\u2019 concerns about their exposure to software businesses susceptible to AI disruption. \u201cNot all funds are created equal, and some funds have disproportionate exposure to the software sector,\u201d said Fitzpatrick. Within software, this is a structural re-rating that is deserved, she noted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-03-02\/blackstone-allows-investors-to-pull-record-7-9-from-bcred-fund\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following headlines about Blackstone Inc. allowing redemptions of 7.9% of shares from its flagship private credit fund,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fitzpatrick predicted that redemptions will continue as those concerns work their way through the system. And while alternative asset managers may feel some short-term pain, returning capital to investors as promised will benefit those managers in the long run.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She also observed that publicly traded BDCs are trading at a roughly 23% discount, and private BDCs and interval funds have to return capital at NAV, which will result in investors redeeming those private BDCs and interval funds and transitioning to public BDCs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou\u2019ll get a higher yield even if the NAV discount doesn\u2019t close.\u201d Ultimately, this will create pressure for secondary sales in private credit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re dipping our toe into buying public BDCs where we like the underlying loan portfolios. We like to provide liquidity when liquidity premiums are blowing out, and I would argue this is going to be one of those moments in time,\u201d said Fitzpatrick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSame thing on secondary sales: there\u2019s going to be great opportunities there, and we like to be a buyer. We are in a good liquidity position and looking forward to a little bit of carnage in private markets.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<h2><strong>How a blockbuster IPO year could reshape markets\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fitzpatrick indicated that after leaning incrementally out of private equity in 2021 and 2022, Soros may be changing that mix in 2026. \u201cThere was a lot of hope coming into 2026 that it would be the year when PE will start to cash flow in a meaningful way,\u201d she said. \u201cThe IPO market is open, but only for really high-quality companies.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2026 may be a year of mega IPOs, with rumors of OpenAI, SpaceX, and Anthropic looking to go public\u2014any one of which would be the largest IPO ever, said Fitzpatrick.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn aggregate, if you get 10% float, that amounts to more than a quarter trillion dollars in IPO proceeds, which is more than the U.S. had in aggregate since 2022,\u201d she said. \u201cIt will clean up those cap structures and give them access to capital markets in terms of heavy spend.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She also noted that there will be hard-fought efforts by these companies to get included in the indexes, which will create natural buyers, but means investors will have to sell the other names currently in the index.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you look at historical data, when you get a really big pop in IPOs, generally, six months forward, the market re-rates on a multiple basis lower.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n    <section class=\"bbg-row
