When data isn't enough: Managing risk in private markets with Miriam Arntz

Host Tim Ruxton is joined by Sara Speed — stepping in for Curtis, who's welcoming a new arrival — to tackle one of the most pressing questions in private markets today: how do you manage risk when there's more data than ever, and almost none of it is standardised?

Their guest is Miriam Arntz, Alter Domus' Chief Risk and Compliance Officer. Drawing on a career that spans fixed-income trading, asset-liability management and quantitative modelling, Miriam explains why having data isn't the same as using it, why public-market default rates have been historically low, and what the rise of retail and semi-retail investors means for liquidity, valuations and reporting expectations.

The conversation ranges across geopolitics, AI, the tension between standardisation and creativity in private credit, and where Miriam sees her role heading in the next three years — toward real-time operational intelligence that puts trusted risk data at clients' fingertips.

In the first episode of The Alter Domus Podcast, hosts Tim Ruxton and Curtis Beyer explore the rapid growth of the private credit and futures markets while recording from the Structured Finance conference in Las Vegas.

They discuss how the industry has evolved over the past decade, the increasing importance of partnerships across the financial ecosystem, and the growing role of technology and data in supporting investors and fund managers.

The episode also features a conversation with Thomas Morris, CEO and founder of The Reporting Company, who shares insights on regulatory reporting, cross-border compliance requirements, and how technology is helping firms respond to increasingly complex market demands.

Together, they examine the challenges facing the industry, from data fragmentation and reporting pressures to the impact of AI, and how collaboration between service providers and technology partners is helping shape the future of alternative investments.
