PANEL: STATE OF THE MARKET
Wednesday, October 19, 2022 | 3 – 4PM EST
Although the broadly syndicated market was largely closed for most of the year, banks and private equity sponsors are eagerly looking towards a rebound of the credit market with ample competition between institutional and direct lenders. Interest rate increases and monetary tightening are not expected to deter the activity of sponsors and corporates, given that dry powder remains at record high levels. With Wall Street banks scrambling to set up direct lending arms, will there be a new breed of competition for deals? Underlying the shift back to broadly syndicated markets is the transition from LIBOR to SOFR. Can we expect deals to get done and structures, pricing, and leverage to reflect a new post-inflationary dynamic? Joins us as we deep dive into these trends and what we think leveraged financing will look like on the other side.
