Scott McClain has played a pivotal role in shaping capital flow as part of the team that built the business from de novo. His team’s approach is rooted in aligning with the bank’s risk appetite, fostering trust with risk partners and simplifying the closing process. This discipline has created certainty of execution and long-term credibility, strengthening relationships across the industry.
As a Market Mover, McClain is closely tracking how larger institutional credit holds and rapid private credit growth are reshaping capital deployment. “The obvious shift in capital markets has been the pivot to growth for most institutions at the same time. This shift has put downward pressure on spreads in 2025 due to a combination of institutions holding transactions for their own portfolio versus syndicating and muted loan demand due to macroeconomic factors,” McClain says.
