Q3 2024 US Leveraged Loan and Private Credit Market Analysis
Elevated rates have kept a lid on how much debt sponsors can raise to support leveraged buyouts. Recent spread compression, however, and a record demand surplus facilitating a torrent of refinancing and extension activity shows the markets are wide open for an M&A revival.
In this webinar, our expert credit analysts dive deep into the world of the US leveraged loan and private credit markets. They dissect the trends, challenges, and opportunities that shaped the first half of the year, while also discussing what could lie ahead for the remainder of 2024.
