Why it's vital to hear?

As the market evolved, the panel debated the critical questions every European private credit manager and investor was asking, including:

  • Which ABL and Direct Lending strategies would continue to grow in scale in 2026?
  • How could downward pressure on expected returns be mitigated?
  • How could Direct Lending maintain differentiation from the syndicated loan market?
  • How exposed were different strategies to fraud risk and negative public opinion?
  • Which sub-strategies were most attractive to investors, and why?
  • Would European private credit converge with or diverge from the US market?
