Cresset, an independent multi-family office and private investment firm with $40 billion in assets under management, has appointed Bradley Schneider managing director, head of private credit.

Schneider, who most recently was head of private credit with annuity platform Midwest Holding, brings more than 20 years of experience focused on private and alternative credit investing.

He will be responsible for the strategic leadership and expansion of Chicago-based Cresset’s holistic private credit program, including Cresset’s flagship private credit vehicle (CPCF).

“Bradley brings exactly the depth of experience in private credit that is needed in this dynamic market and economic environment. More importantly, he shares our values and laser focus on bringing innovative and high-quality solutions to our investors,” said Kevin O’Donnell, Executive Managing Director and Head of Cresset’s Private Funds Group.
