Debt funds: current market and trends

In the recent years, debt has clearly become a very attractive class of assets on the radar screen of many investors. It is therefore important to get a clear understanding of what debt funds are, how they can be structured and how to administrate them.

This module is part of our Debt Funds Training curriculum made of 6 complementary building blocks:

• Debt funds: current market and trends
• Debt funds: accounting considerations
• Debt funds: risk management, governance and best market practices/hot topics
• Debt funds: valuation overview

An attendance certificate will be sent to participants.
