Credit co investments
Does anyone else in the forum work with credit co investors (Hamilton Lane, Stepstone, etc)? Curious if you think the work of making co investment memo / underwriting can be replaced by AI soon.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, while AI can handle tasks like calculating credit metrics, building financial models, and even generating basic memos, the nuanced judgment required for co-investment underwriting and memo creation is unlikely to be fully replaced anytime soon. AI struggles with assessing "known unknowns," relative value, and the intangible aspects of risk that are critical in credit co-investments.
Additionally, grooming juniors for senior roles remains essential, as senior professionals are needed to interpret AI outputs and make strategic decisions. Automation may streamline parts of the process, but the relationship-driven and judgment-heavy aspects of co-investment work will likely remain human-centric for the foreseeable future.
