Tuesday, December 3, 2019, 3:20 PM - 4:10 PM | An Attractive and Resilient Niche in the Current Private Debt Environment?
In times of low interest rates, institutional investors are increasingly interested in alternative asset classes. At the same time, medium-sized companies are looking for new financing opportunities in view of the regulatory pressure on banks. The current credit cycle, however, is advanced and the European economy is slowing down. In this session, ODDO BHF Asset Management will explain why the German Mittelstand remains a source of value, and how resilience can be achieved in the current market environment. The session features the following discussion points:
- Performance of private debt versus other asset classes;
- Variations in private debt instruments – from senior secured to quasi equity and their implications for investors;
- The German Mittelstand – an attractive niche for private debt in Europe; Resilient financing structures in challenging economic times;
- Outlook for the asset class.
