Daniel Roddick will be speaking on the panel "Liquidity in Private Credit: Secondary Market Trading and Secondary Funds" next week at the third annual Private Credit Industry Conference in Florida, hosted by LSTA and DealCatalyst. The discussion will be moderated by Adelene Lee from Reorg, with Daniel joining fellow panellists Michael Loehrke from Golub Capital, Tikehau Capital's Tim Grell, Anthony Diaz from Antares Capital LP, and LSTA's Theodore Basta. We’ll unpack the growing demand for liquidity, the need for a dedicated secondary trading desk for private capital, and the role secondaries funds can play in investors’ portfolios. The discussion will also explore the pressure from third-party regulators on fair valuations and transparency, and the push and pull between investment liquidity compared to transactional trading. We're excited to be part of this timely conversation and share our insights as a specialist advisor in the secondaries space. Drop us a line if you're also attending, we'd love to say hello! #directlending #middlemarketfinance #privateequity #privatecredit #secondaries #panel
