Day 1 | 20th April

9:55 AM Keynote Panel Discussion: Rewriting the Credit Playbook: How can you address new opportunities and risks arising from geopolitical events, tariffs and supply chain realignment in your portfolios?

With inflation trajectories unsettled, duration risks rising, and liquidity conditions shifting, Europe’s top CIOs are rethinking how, and where, they deploy capital across public and private credit markets. From recalibrating fixed income allocations to optimising portfolio resilience, these leaders are navigating a complex macro and market environment while balancing risk, return, and stakeholder expectations.

In this high-level discussion, we will unpack the asset class priorities, structural preferences, and risk frameworks guiding today’s most sophisticated allocators. We will look at positioning portfolios for the year ahead, communicating strategic shifts, and capturing opportunities across an evolving credit landscape.
