David Miller, Global Head of Private Credit and Equity at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, joins Lisa Lee on the Credit Exchange Podcast to discuss the Firm’s private equity and credit business and his outlook for the sector in 2026.

In his current role, David leads integrated private equity and private credit platforms, enabling Morgan Stanley to offer a full spectrum of capital solutions—from traditional buyouts to direct lending and hybrid capital structures. He notes that combining both strategies under one platform strengthens industry expertise, enhances deal sourcing, and allows for more tailored capital solutions. David also underscores Morgan Stanley’s advantage as part of a global investment bank, where close collaboration with investment banking and capital markets teams plays a key role.

Looking ahead, David anticipates a multiyear increase in middle‑market M&A as aging private‑equity portfolios come to market. He sees continued strength in private credit fundamentals, including low defaults, and expects AI‑related infrastructure investment to drive substantial financing needs—making 2026 a particularly active year.

Disclosures:
Alternative investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. Investors could lose all or a substantial amount of their investment. Alternative investments are suitable only for long-term investors willing to forego liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time. Alternative investments are typically highly illiquid – there is no secondary market for private funds, and there may be restrictions on redemptions or assigning or otherwise transferring investments into private funds. Alternative investment funds often engage in leverage and other speculative practices that may increase volatility and risk of loss. Alternative investments typically have higher fees and expenses than other investment vehicles, and such fees and expenses will lower returns achieved by investors.
