Panel: Private credit is booming - what are the trends and opportunities?

With private credit booming, many pension funds and insurers are continuing to expand into the asset class via allocations and direct investment. It’s an attractive time in the economic cycle to commit capital to private credit with the structural shift from banks to private lenders continuing. But are these favourable times here to stay, and how will the asset class continue to grow and specialise? What opportunities are there in alternative lending, such as Nav lending?

  • What macro-economic shifts are affecting private credit this year and do interest rates and spreads still favour a private credit boom?
  • How is investor behaviour evolving in the private debt space?
  • How does Private credit fit into a broader private asset portfolio? 
  • With liquidity still tight, is private credit more attractive than private equity for institutional investors? 
  • Which developing sub-sectors of private credit are most attractive? (i.e. Nav-Financing etc) 
  • Alternative lending – where are the opportunities?
  • Will senior direct lending still be the first choice for European debt investors?
  • What some ongoing challenges are experts facing when making allocations to private credit?
  • What is the outlook in the middle to long term? 
  • Which sectors will be ripe for private debt investment in Europe this year?
