PEER ENGAGEMENT
Senior Investing Australia: The Role and Rise of Private Credit
Join with senior investment leaders to take a closer view of the role of private credit as an asset class and how it fits within portfolios.

Understand the depth and breadth of private debt and learn how it can be a key solution to your portfolio challenges in terms of risk and return characteristics, strategic asset allocation and YFYS constraints.

After the main program you will also have an opportunity, as usual, to discuss other investing and macro topics. Share your views with senior investing colleagues as you informally network over drinks and canapes.

For those interested, move on to continue the conversation at drinks or dinner at a nearby restaurant, at members' own expense.
