Interesting insight from Karl Chessell at #nrb2024 today

Coming up: I will be presenting "Useful Tech for Premises Liability Claims & Litigation" at both of these PLRB conferences. I'll be talking about means-of-egress and accessible route codes & standards, and how tribometry, 3D LIDAR scanning and photogrammetry can be used for science-backed case analyses. #premisesliability #standardsmatter #sliptesting

Tomorrow marks the beginning of the annual European flagship Private Debt conference in London. The agenda promises an engaging and insightful event, to say the least. I'm thrilled to once again contribute by moderating a debate on the topic of “who’s issuing better credit?”, and are co-leading the IC Panel  alongside #GabriellaKindert. During the debate, we'll delve into the perspectives of various GPs across the middle market spectrum (#Dunport, #FederatedHermes, #Ares). It's sure to be an intriguing exchange of arguments across the aisle where LPs can gain a deeper understanding of the nuances behind each dedicated strategy, as none of the panelists adhere to a cookie-cutter approach to direct lending. The IC Panel will feature three real-life case studies presented by GPs (#NorthwallCapital, #ZenzicCapital, #FruxCapital), sparking discussions on whether the loans should be issued, or if the deal should be rejected outright. Having hosted this panel with Gabriella for many years, I anticipate a lively discussion that offers LPs valuable insights into how loans are evaluated within a GP's framework. Overall, I'm excited to reconnect with familiar faces as the event feels like a "class reunion" with so many long-standing participants. #PrivateDebtInvestor, #PDI, #PrivateDebt, #PDIEurope, #PrivateCredit, #SigloCapitalAdvisors

Hear from Blue Vault’s Luke Schmidt’s about how the custom benchmarks in the 2024 NTR Full-Cycle Study helps to compare full-cycle events. #AlternativeInvestments #investmentmanagement #WealthManagement #RIA #FinancialAdvisors #registeredinvestmentadviser

Our study examines how opportunistic firms exploit accounting flexibility during periods of high uncertainty. - attend Prof. Ane Tamayo's insightful speech on the positive impact of non-sexist corporate culture on capital markets.

The Eurogroup has now signed-off on its statement on the future of CMU. All perfectly reasonable stuff, but perhaps not the stirring rallying cry for action during the next mandate that it could have been (and that we need). The 'ABC' framing is a slightly forced rhetorical device, but it does capture three key themes pretty well. The 'Architecture' section rightly notes that some really thorny issues around tax or insolvency are becoming increasingly hard to ignore; the 'Business' strand reminds us that EU innovators, SMEs, and corporates need access to diverse sources of funding if they're to grow and / or to avoid being swallowed up by overseas rivals; and the 'Citizens' section explains in stark terms that households need "easier access routes to a larger choice of investment possibilities". There are a few welcome specifics in there (I particularly liked the invitation to the Commission to keep a close eye on how the soon-to-be-adopted EU Listing Act performs in practice, so that we can make further changes if needed), but overall it's another policy statement that offers a very good diagnosis of the malady afflicting the EU capital markets, but doesn't really signal a step-change in the will to deliver the cures. https://lnkd.in/dRDmbCih
