Alt Credit US Performance & Services Awards 2021 | Pageant Media Ltd | Metropolitan Club , 1 E 60th St, New York, NY 10022, US

This year the Alt Credit US Awards will recognize those private debt managers and credit hedge funds that have best been able to take advantage of the opportunities that have arisen and avoided the pitfalls.

Private debt categories themselves have been tweaked to better focus on the range of strategies available as now seasoned private credit investors look to diversify existing allocations buckets.

This year sees some slight tweaks to the awards line up, with opportunistic credit funds recognized in their own right, as a host of funds have come to the fore to take advantage of dislocations in traded credit markets, while also being able to source private deals of their own and invest through any recovery.
