Panel: Small–cap market opportunities
The credit markets are signalling a better environment for small cap equities in 2024. Small companies are the lifeblood of our economy, yet are often neglected, not only by the banks, but also by the large direct lenders. The financing needs of small companies can be as complex as those of large companies, this panel will examine:
- What are the key trends that will dominate the small-cap market over the next 12 months?
- What are the headwinds and how are firms navigating uncertainty?
- What superior risk adjusted returns are firms putting in place?
- Are ESG considerations just as important in the small-cap space?
