Fertile Ground or Fragile Bubble?
Deciphering the Future of Private Credit Investment
It is no surprise that the private credit market has boomed in the last few years, what’s truly surprising is the continued growth amid the rising concerns, presenting both opportunities and challenges for investors.
What are the driving forces behind this unprecedented growth?
The retreat of traditional lenders, spurred by tightened lending standards created a void eagerly filled by private credit providers. By the third quarter of 2023, direct lenders accounted for a staggering 86% of LBOs, up from 65% in 2021.
But like all things, private credit is not created equal, winners and losers will emerge! The savvy manager may have an opportunity to shine, yet those lacking such savvy may face turbulent waters.
Join us on September 26, 2024, in Toronto, Canada, as we explore the trends in private credit market with growing specialism for asset managers with niche and diverse sectors, a global perspective, and the implications of regulatory landscape on the private credit markets.
