European Leveraged Finance & CLO 2024 - Frankfurt | Moody's Investors Service, Inc. | 17 June 2024 | Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, An d. Welle 5, 60322 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Markets are facing a new reality – “A New Normal”. We’re now in an environment characterised by slower economic growth, higher interest rates, lower valuations and a plethora of geopolitical risks capable of destabilising markets.

This new landscape prompts us to ponder:
• How will these conditions alter the behaviours and financial strategies of key market players, including issuers, sponsors, the banking community, and the CLO market?
• What will this mean for issuance levels, deal structures, and the deployment of exceptionally high levels of dry powder?
• What are the implications for covenants and credit quality, defaults, and recovery prospects?
• How will private credit evolve - can it coexist with the broader syndicated market, and if so, how will this play out?
