Private Debt Outlook Europe 2023
Where investors and managers meet to discuss the latest in the European private debt market
Tuesday, November 15, 2022 - London
8.15am - 6pm GMT
Investors have been piling into private debt in the past decade, with each year seeming to set a new fundraising record, driven by the promise of yield in a world of historically low interest rates. Times are changing, however, with rates rising, high inflation, and talk of a potential recession, each of which would significantly impact the European private debt market.
Private Debt Outlook Europe 2023 is a full-day, in-person event in London that will see leading private debt investors, managers and service providers discussing these challenges and the opportunities for the industry in the coming 12- 24 months.
