ABOUT THE EVENT

Now in its fifth year SLF 2026 explores the key funding factors specialty lenders should consider from launch phase to maturity, and eventual exit via M&A or a public ABS deal. Investors will have a unique forum to meet emerging and established non-bank financial institutions originating a variety of financial assets and participate in a sector with an attractive yield and risk profile. Funds seeking to expand their lending activities beyond corporate direct lending will be able to showcase their platforms to an audience of potential borrowers and allocators alike.
