Tweetable Quotes:
"I personally think it’s wrong to look at any one data point and make a decision based on that. We look at millions of data points that are all coming together to look at the holistic view of the asset itself, the market, but also our entire portfolio as a whole as well. - Veena Jetti
“I do think that anybody who isn’t comfortable investing, or doesn’t understand the investment, or is talking to a sponsor who doesn’t explain the investment and answer all of your questions. I do think that is a moment to kind of take a pause.” - Veena Jetti
