We will be providing a boxed lunch for this event.
Private Credit has been on a tear over the last several years, altering the investment landscape while providing investors and lenders access to a new set of potential opportunities. However, with the tremendous flow of assets comes certain risks, real and perceived.
Please join us for a Discussion About Private Credit Alternatives
- The rise of private credit as an asset class and the current state of the market; why it's become so noisy; the risks and the opportunities
- Deeper dive into private credit: highlight the sub-sectors and investment approaches that fall under private credit and the size and diversification of the market. Dispersion of returns is large within the private credit category; knowing these nuances is important.
- Fund structures pros/cons (interval/evergreen vs drawdown, closed-end vs BDC, public vs private). Considerations when investing: target returns, typical flow of income/returns, and how return of capital works depending on fund type.
- The history, experience, and reach of AB CarVal's asset-based approach: examples of investments, origination and servicing relationships, structures within the portfolio, and portfolio characteristics.
