“The number one thing I want to make sure of is that the models are not going to own anything that is going down. That is hard-coded. It is never going to happen. Denali doesn’t care about the market as a whole. It only cares about finding opportunities that meet the criteria for capital deployment. It is a very conservative approach. The bar that we need to clear to put money to work is very high.”
