Private Debt Forum

What began as a middle-market funding alternative confined to Chicago is today a must-have alternative asset class totaling $600 billion in investor capital. The rise of private debt coincided with—and thrived as a result of—the Wall Street reform following the global financial crisis. But while the evolution and growth of private credit and direct lending can be mapped with relative ease, its definition and role in portfolio allocation is open to debate.

The Opal Group 2018 Private Debt Forum is not only a venue for unique access and firsthand insight into the product universe and people leading the fastest-growing market in the finance sector, but a bellwether for the future of the asset class and investment management industry.
