iGlobal Forum is pleased to announce the 12th Specialty Finance Summit taking place in-person on November 30th in New York.
The Summit will examine the opportunities and challenges facing the specialty finance sector in this uncertain time of rising interest rates and the possibility of a recession. Although the market faces some headwinds and raising capital is becoming more challenging in certain sectors, astute investors and lenders continue to see opportunities for strong risk-adjusted returns in specialty finance, especially in sectors that are countercyclical or that offer low correlation to economic cycles.
You will learn from and network with the leaders in the field: specialty finance companies, fintech companies, private equity firms, asset managers, institutional investors, BDCs, SBICs, wealth management firms, hedge funds, venture capital firms, senior lenders and investment banks.
