An interactive panel discussion that draws on the experiences of experts in the field and real-life case studies from multiple perspectives;
- from that of an issuer - how they look at the USPP market as a tool to diversify funding and duration of their borrowing whilst balancing changes in the macro/rate environment;
- an investor - as buyers of the private placement instruments and how they expect the market to evolve in both demand and supply;
- the rating agency who looks to maintaining disciple and rigour to their analysis whilst facilitating the evolution of new sectors and market structures; and
- from the lead placement agent role in facilitating this and balancing the demands of issuers, whilst satisfying the needs of investors in an increasingly turbulent market environment.
