After the Fall: Navigating the New Credit Market

Join investors, lenders, financial sponsors and borrowers as they discuss the outlook for a market facing dramatic swings in structure, pricing and liquidity.


Some topics that will be discussed at this year's conference:

• Overview of the global loan market: A statistical story of the past 12 months
  
  
• The butterfly effect: Why what happens in IGR CDS now ripples through leveraged loans. What you must know about cross-asset contagion
  
  
• So long Sharpe ratio? How – and why – the loan market suddenly became volatile and correlated
  
  
• Meet the new buy-siders: Is it all fast money? If so, what does that mean for getting deals done?
  
  
• The new sell-side? Who has underwriting capacity and how do you tap into it?
  
  
• Ports in a storm: What sectors of the market (Infrastructure? Middle market? ABL?) have held firm – and how you can benefit from them?
  
  
• Structurally speaking: What sorts of deals are getting done and what lessons can be taken from these experiences?
  
  
• The High-grade story. Is it business as (even vaguely) usual in the near-IGR and IGR markets?
