Hedge fund and Private Equity worlds collide over credit

The panel was moderated by Hedgeweek and featured both a leading credit hedge fund and a PE group, in addition to FIS Global, to dive into the details of this convergence story.

The webinar covered a range of talking points including:

  • How distressed credit, structured credit and private debt asset classes are appealing to both hedge funds and PE groups, as they search for yield
  • Insights into how managers are currently thinking about diversification opportunities
  • What are the operational risks involved when extending one’s asset class coverage?
  • Could we see collaboration or joint ventures, between hedge and PE groups, to build distressed credit and CLO platforms, over the next few years?

PANEL:
Michael Fastert // Chief Operating Officer and Chief Legal Officer, Tiedemann Investment Group
Raj Dave // CIO/PM, Torgos Credit Opportunities
Robert Burke // CEO & CIO, Par-Four
Paul Livanos // Managing Director, Sales, North America // Virtus from FIS
James Williams // Editor in Chief, Hedgeweek
