Day 2 | 21st April

12:30 PM Fireside Chat: Assessing the Case for Secondary Marketing: Should private credit stay illiquid without compromising the yield and structural advantages that define the asset class?

As private credit markets grow, investors are weighing the trade-offs between liquidity and yield. This panel brings together market leaders to debate whether more frequent secondary transactions could improve flexibility and risk management, or if they might erode the asset class’s fundamental benefits.

Explore the opportunities and challenges of creating a secondary market for private credit, the implications for pricing, investor behaviour, and portfolio construction, and how secondary activity could affect yield, risk, and structural characteristics. Gain practical insight into how such trading could be integrated into your existing credit strategies.
