Citrin Cooperman is proud a sponsor of the 11th Annual LPGP Connect Private Debt conference in Chicago on Wednesday, October 21.
Mark Emrich, managing director and Portfolio Valuation Industry Practice leader, will moderate “Direct Lending Evolved: Spread Compression, Sponsored vs. Non-Sponsored & the Lower Middle Market” at 11:35 am.
The panel will look at how spread compression is reshaping underwriting standards and covenant protection, how direct lenders are positioning portfolios across the lower middle market, upper middle market, and non-sponsored segments, and where managers are walking away from deals despite attractive headline yields.
Ajay Mishra, partner, will also be on site. Stop by our table to connect!
