Dr. Christoph Gort will first review recent performance data across a wide range of credit and private debt asset classes such as corporate and EM bonds, loans, CLOs, direct lending and a few alternative niche strategies. He will put the performance data into perspective, and compare it with other events, as well as why the Coronavirus Crisis is different from other crises from a macro perspective.
Dr. Gort will compare the current outlook for each asset class based on a few simple but practical useful risk-return metrics, measures and models and assess the relative attractiveness. The presentation aims to provide investors with an overview of the heterogeneous credit landscape and to help assess opportunities and risks across the wide range of credit and private debt asset classes.
