Turning Hard Times into Opportunities?

Before 2020, private debt as an asset class was doing well in Asia. The economic turmoil has upended the conventional investment ecosystem, including curtailing bank and non-bank financing for private companies. Much after the impact of the crisis weakens, certain operational shifts are likely to remain.

On 23rd September 2020, in partnership with the Financial Times Live, we hosted an online roundtable with senior executives from across the private debt industry. The conversation centered around how private debt managers and investors in Asia can adapt to the current market trends. We also explored how digitalization and the availability of technological tools can help them tackle and flourish in this “new normal”.

A summary of the discussion can be found in the post-event report, which is available to download.
