Grant's Inaugural Private Credit Event to Examine Risks and Opportunities in Fast-Growing Market
Grant's Interest Rate Observer today announced a major private-credit event to weigh risks and opportunities in the most talked-about, fastest-growing and perhaps most-misunderstood branch of the debt markets. Speakers, comprising a who's who of investors, dealmakers, and thinkers, will explore the income opportunity, systemic risks, and cyclical-test-to-come in the $1.5 trillion entity. The conference?a long overdue meeting of the top minds in private credit?will be held at The CURE Building (345 Park Avenue South) in New York on Tuesday, March 5 from 8:30am-12:30pm ET.
Owing to the sensitivity and market-moving nature of the subject matter, the conference will be closed to the press.
Our speakers include:
- Michael Patterson, governing partner, HPS Investment Partners, LLC
- John Zito, partner and deputy CIO of credit, Apollo Global Management, Inc.
- Steve Miller, managing director, CreditSights, a Fitch Solutions Service
- Daniel Zwirn, CEO and CIO of Arena Investors LP
- Bradley Rogoff, head of FICC research, Barclays Capital, Inc.
- Christina Padgett, associate managing director, corporate finance, Moody's Investors Service
- Ruth Yang, global head of private markets, S&P Global Ratings
William Glasgall, senior director of public finance, the Volcker Alliance, will lead a panel discussion, "Is private credit in the public interest?" Panelists include Drew McKnight, co-CEO of Fortress Investment Group, LLC; Anthony Randazzo, executive director, Equable Institute; and Gaurav Vasisht, executive director and CEO, New York State Insurance Fund.
James Grant, founder and editor of Grant's Interest Rate Observer, said: "The burgeoning private credit market sits today at the intersection of heavy leverage and elevated interest rates. We're delighted to bring together the brightest minds to help investors seize the opportunities and steer clear of the hazards."
