Private Equity Breakfast to discuss private debt

A panel discussion on “Private debt – the solution in a tightening economy?” will be included in Private Equity Media’s next networking breakfast in Sydney on Thursday 1 June.

Private debt is playing an increasingly important role in the Australian private capital sector both as an asset class and as a source of finance for growing businesses.

Investment in private debt funds has grown substantially in the years since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008.

Debt funds initially focused on investing in loans secured by real estate, such as commercial property acquisitions and building development. The range of private debt funding has, however, steadily expanded with strong growth in business funding.

In Australia, private debt is now estimated to service 10% of the corporate loan market. This percentage is likely to continue to increase as regulatory pressures discourage major banks from financing the small to medium business sector and private credit providers develop new structures to secure corporate loans.   

Our panel discussion will feature a range of lenders targeting different sectors of the market.

Members of the panel will be:  

Andrew Lockhart, Metrics Credit Partners;

Ted Dow, Paddington Street Finance;

Paul Kennedy, Bain Capital Credit;

Karthi Sepulohniam, Partners for Growth;

Jason Phillips, KKR Private Credit;

Jake Haines, Pacific Equity Partners, Credit Solutions

The breakfast will be held at Doltone House, Hyde Park, Sydney.

Book now as we have a strict limit on tickets.
