Overview

Private debt is one of the largest alternative asset classes globally but is still at an early stage of development in Asia. This asset class offers an attractive risk/return profile and diversification versus public fixed income. It becomes topical given its inflation hedge characteristics and continued growth due to stricter lending regulations for banks.

Objective

This webinar will help participants to better understand the background, characteristics, categories, risks and opportunity of private debt.
