Stuart Hitchcock PhD MBA

Stuart manages the portfolio management business within Private Credit on a global basis. He is responsible for guiding portfolio construction and providing senior independent judgement on the writing of all new private financings across corporate, alternative, infrastructure and real estate asset classes. Over his near 22 years in the private markets, he has been engaged in approx. $45bn of financing. Obsessed with the investment mantra 'Credit, Structure, Pricing' (“in that order”, he emphasises), Stuart has a PhD and BA (first) from the University of Southampton, MBA from Judge Business School (Cambridge, dist.), MSt from the University of Oxford and an FCT (Association of Corporate Treasurers). When not walking his beloved golden retriever or indulging a passion for horror movies, he can generally be found engaged in academic pursuits.
