“There is no ‘I’ in ‘team’”, so goes the popular adage. Teams perform better when everybody contributes fully. But, if a team is lacking in diversity, does that also have an impact on performance?

An increasing number of allocators are looking to European private credit, both as a diversifier to US direct lending and a return driver, in its own right. This educational seminar unpacked key areas of the market, ranging from European direct lending to non-sponsor, to real estate lending, specialty finance, and everything in between.

The need for educated and engaged investors is greater than ever. CAIA EVP John Bowman, CFA, sheds light on the new challenges investors face and how to meet client outcomes with creativity and sophistication.

Our Mission: CAIA Association seeks to improve investment and societal outcomes of capital allocation through professional education, transparency, and thought leadership across all investor alternatives in our industry.
