A great week was had by all prior to the Bank Holiday in London last week at the Fund Finance Association’s 8th Annual European Symposium, which was held for the second year at the Queen Elizabeth II conference centre in London’s Westminster. Our global Fund Finance team sincerely thanks the Fund Finance Association and everyone who was involved in the planning and participation of the conference – with over 1000 delegates, the event was a major success.
If you weren’t able to travel to London for this year’s conference, or weren’t able to attend all of the incredible programming, our team has prepared panel discussion summaries that we hope you find informative.
The content was spot on with respect to the present global market and economic situation and covered all hot topics ranging from an excellent market update from Preqin to a discussion about the evolving lender landscape. Consistent themes were a focus on the resilience of the industry post the challenges of 2023, an increased focus on lender diversification and the alternative lender market, the sophistication and diversification of the NAV product and ratings and capital relief tools and promising developments in securitization solutions for the fund finance market.
Our Haynes Boone attendees enjoyed meeting with clients and old and new friends and participating in the various panels and activities put on by the FFA. As always, please reach out to any member of our global Fund Finance team if you would like to discuss any of these topics in more depth.
Please note these summaries simply reflect our key impressions from these various panel discussions and not the viewpoint of the authors or any specific panelist.
