New investors and lenders continue to enter the US middle market.

How are participants, such as insurance companies, optimising their investments in the space? How do investors differentiate between the upper, traditional and lower middle market segments?

PERFORMANCE AND RELATIVE VALUE

04:00 PM 04:50 PM

How are supply/demand dynamics impacting the pricing and terms of middle market loans, as well as the credit quality and make-up of portfolios? Is the proliferation of covenant-lite loans a concern? How are MM CLOs expected to perform in a deteriorating credit cycle? Where can relative value be found against this backdrop? Is the secondary market active?
04:50 PM
STRUCTURING CONSIDERATIONS

04:50 PM 05:40 PM

A case study on how to structure middle market portfolio financings and the process of transitioning a warehouse facility into a CLO. What are the advantages of using securitisation warehouses and having them rated versus an unrated exposure?
