Private Markets: The Emerging Force in Capital Markets

Moving beyond a basic overview, it dissects the fundamental strategic divergences between these private capital strategies and traditional investments, highlighting their distinct opportunities and challenges. A core emphasis will be placed on analyzing the diverse and sophisticated array of debt securities and financing instruments that fuel private equity and private credit transactions.

The session will adopt a multi-faceted perspective, examining these instruments through the lens of investors seeking optimal returns, dealmakers structuring complex transactions, and companies evaluating funding alternatives.

Participants will develop a comprehensive understanding of how these critical financial tools are employed to structure deals, strategically manage risk, and ultimately drive enhanced returns within the dynamic landscape of private markets.
