KBRA Releases IMN 2023 CLO and Leveraged Loan Conference Recap

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA releases a recap of the Information Management Network’s (IMN) Annual Investors’ Conference on CLOs and Leveraged Loans, held on April 17-18 in New York City.

The conference’s various panel sessions focused on broadly syndicated loans (BSL), middle market (MM) CLOs, leveraged loans, direct lending, and private credit.

The recent turmoil in the U.S. regional banking sector and the collapse of Credit Suisse unsettled the markets and tested the resolve of governments to stabilize global financial systems. Consequently, there is broad expectation for an increase in leveraged loan defaults, which is now forecast in the 3%-4% range by year-end 2023. Conference participants stressed the resilience of the CLO structure and the ability to persist under the most challenging market conditions.
