Ep 57: 17% Fixed Returns with ZERO Fees? | Kraig Swanson on Disrupting Hedge Funds (Part 2)

🚨 Episode 57 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is LIVE! 🚨 Part 2 of my conversation with Kraig Swanson, Founder of Swanson Reserve Capital, is here—and we go even deeper into the world of structured notes, alt-credit, and what real innovation looks like in private markets. Most people hear hedge fund and think: complexity, fees, exclusivity. Kraig flips that script. 🎯 We cover: ✅ Why his boutique alt-credit fund charges zero fees ✅ How they're delivering a fixed 17% annual return—paid quarterly ✅ What makes their structured notes strategy different (hint: it's backed by institutions like JPM, Goldman, Citi) ✅ How it compares to real estate investing—without the tenants or headaches ✅ Why this isn't just about returns—it's about resilience Plus: 🔍 The difference between T-notes, bonds, and what his fund does differently 🤝 Why meeting the founder matters when vetting private funds 📊 The role of machine learning in portfolio construction 🌍 And how they're democratizing access usually reserved for billion-dollar family offices Kraig isn't just another voice in the space—he's in the game, personally invested, and building something worth watching. As always—this is not financial advice. Just real conversations with people doing real things in the investing world. 🌐 https://www.swansonreservecapital.com/ 📺 Watch on 👉 LinkedIn 🎧 Also on 👉 YouTube 🤝 Ready to Share Your Story on Lightspeed Investing Podcast? 📅 Schedule your call with our host, Philip: 📞 https://calendly.com/lightspeedinvesting #LightspeedInvesting #AlternativeInvestments #StructuredNotes #PrivateCredit #FixedIncome #FinancePodcast #SwansonReserveCapital #AccreditedInvestors #MachineLearning #HedgeFundInnovation
