Day 1 | 20th April

2:15 PM Panel Discussion: Capitalising on Opportunities in Direct lending & High Yield – How can you balance your allocations to optimise returns and achieve resilience in volatile markets?

As credit markets evolve, allocators are weighing when to lean into private direct lending versus public high-yield markets. Each offers distinct advantages: direct lending provides access to illiquidity premia and stable income, while high yield offers greater liquidity and tactical flexibility.

This session will explore how CIOs and portfolio managers tilt allocations between these two strategies, how they evaluate the trade-offs in today’s macro environment, and which factors ultimately guide portfolio construction across the public–private divide.

3:30 PM CIO Think Tank: Investment Outlook Insights: What are the key market drivers to watch that are set to impact private debt markets in 2026 and beyond?

Closed doors and open minds; this session is hosted under the Chatham House Rule

*Open to 15 CIOs from asset managers and institutional investors*
