Special Edition Podcast Mini Series: 25 for 25 Episode 5
Hosts Winnie Cisar (Global Head of Strategy, CreditSights) & Zachary Griffiths, CFA are joined by Erin Lyons (Co-Head, CreditSights) & Matt Zloto (Co-Head, CreditSights) for our final 25 for 25 special episode on the future of credit research.
They discuss how AI will reshape research workflows, coverage expansion, and client consumption; the surge in private credit and implications for tools, transparency, and regulation; and why people-powered insights—rooted in deep sector expertise and rigorous skepticism—remain essential. The team covers skillsets for the next generation of analysts (curiosity, dot-connecting, signal vs. noise, and asking better questions), how CreditSights is investing in talent and covenant/journalism capabilities, and partnering with clients to build purpose-fit products for evolving market structures. They also share practical AI wins from CreditSights AI, and reflect on the importance of long-term partnership enabled by Fitch Group.
