Travis Miller – Six Years of the iPartners Credit Investment Fund: Evolution, Lessons, and Private Credit Strategy

In this special "spun around" episode of the Grow Your Wealth podcast, the tables are turned as Mark Sherwood interviews the show’s regular host and iPartners co-founder, Travis Miller. The conversation marks the six-year anniversary of the iPartners Credit Investment Fund, a flagship strategy designed to offer wealth creation with lower volatility than public equity markets. Travis reflects on the fund’s origins, which grew out of investor demand for managed, diversified access to alternative assets rather than individual deal-picking. He discusses how the strategy has navigated major macro hurdles - including COVID-19 disruptions and the shift from record-low interest rates to a higher-rate environment - while maintaining a consistent track record.

Travis also dives into the broader iPartners fund suite, explaining the differences between private credit, bond income, and emerging equities, while sharing his "hustle" philosophy on competing with traditional banks. Whether you are a seasoned investor or just starting with alternatives, this episode provides a transparent look at the DNA of a private credit fund and the importance of sizing bets for long-term success.
