Private Credit Beyond the Headlines: Due Diligence, Liquidity Risk, and Opportunity

Private credit is entering a new phase of market maturity, driven by the convergence of public and private credit markets, the expansion of private investment-grade strategies, and the continued evolution of direct lending. As market participants adapt to changing capital structures, investor expectations, rigorous due diligence, disciplined portfolio construction, and a deeper understanding of liquidity risk have become increasingly important to generating sustainable performance for LP’s.   This session will examine how structural market shifts are influencing underwriting standards, valuation methodologies, portfolio resilience, and investment opportunities. The discussion will provide practical insights into navigating today's increasingly interconnected credit markets. Registration is currently open to members only.
