Asset Based Lending and Portfolio Finance: Assessing the Opportunities

Asset-based lending and portfolio finance have emerged as increasingly important segments of the private credit market. This panel will explore the evolution of asset-based lending, with a focus on shipping and aviation finance, as well as the growth of portfolio finance and its role in providing financing solutions across a wide range of private market portfolios.

CAIA Italy in collaboration with Barings, EnTrust Global, and Muzinich & Co, invites you to this insightful discussion bringing together perspectives from GPs and LPs to examine the distinct characteristics of these strategies, the risks and opportunities they present and their potential to provide differentiated sources of income and diversification.
