Programme08:30Registration08:55Welcome remarks09:00Keynote address09:30What is next for Asian credit?Most Asian economies have begun the journeytowards recovery, albeit at a different pace, thanksto slowing infection rates and the roll out of massvaccination programmes. Fiscal and monetarypolicies remain accommodative, as governmentscontinue to ensure sufficient support for theeconomy. However, a gradual withdrawal of reliefmeasures may be on the horizon, which could leadto asset deterioration in certain sectors and a rise indefaults. Our panellists look ahead and discuss whatto expect for Asian credit. What are the key macroeconomic factors affectingthe outlook for Asian credit? What makes Asian credit stand out, and how doesit compare with U.S. and European markets? To what extent has risk appetite increased frominvestors? How will recovery play out in various marketsacross Asia, and what are the opportunities andchallenges ahead for credit investors?10:3011:00All eyes on ChinaThe Chinese distressed debt market has takencentre stage. The government’s deleveraging push,coupled with the pandemic, has resulted in a waveof distressed debt situations, including severalhigh-profile defaults this past year, and this upwardtrend is expected to continue. Nevertheless, despitethe promising outlook, foreign involvement has yetto reach a significant level, as few managers havethe capacity or experience to efficiently navigatethe fragmented market. Our panel of experiencedinvestors and advisors discuss the outlook fordistressed debt in China. Will the market see a further uptick in high-profiledefaults, and what can be learnt from last year’sactivity? How do investors view the ongoing situationregarding China Evergrande? What are the opportunities and challenges forforeign managers looking to invest in China NPLs? To what extent will the further opening of theonshore bond market appeal to foreign investors?11:45Direct lending: Taking off in Asia-PacificCompared to the saturated landscapes of the U.S.and Europe, direct lending in Asia-Pacific representsa developing market with plenty of potential. Despitethe traditional dominance of banks in the region,more opportunities have emerged, especially in themid-market space, for private lenders to step in andprovide funding where banks may not be positionedto do so. While returns are promising, managersmust tread carefully, as the fragmented nature ofAsia-Pacific requires sophisticated planning indifferent markets and navigating a variety of complexregulations. Our panellists take a deep dive intodirect lending in Asia-Pacific. Where do the pockets of opportunities lie fordirect lending in Asia-Pacific? Will there be an influx of foreign players looking toenter, and how will this shape the outlook for directlending? What is unique about the structures used byprivate lenders in the region? What are the top risks and challenges to directlending in this fragmented market?12:45Networking lunchNetworking break
Programme13:4514:30Seizing the potential of real estateReal estate credit strategies have becomeincreasingly popular amongst fund managers, giventhe tightened conditions for traditional lendersand attractive risk-adjusted returns. Across Asia,although logistics and data centres proved resilientduring the outbreak, office and retail spacesstruggled. As such, this could lead to distressed ordiscounted deals for investors. At the same time,the Chinese government’s crackdown on excessiveborrowing by the real estate industry couldcreate opportunities for private debt investors, asdevelopers rush to shift debt off the balance sheet.Our real estate experts assess the landscape forcredit in the sector. To what extent will the “three red lines” policy fueldemand for private credit in China, and in whatways can lenders participate? In other parts of Asia, which segments within thereal estate sector offer the most potential forreturns? What types of strategies are managers deployingin this sector? What are the key challenges to real estate lending,especially in China, and how can investorsovercome them?Spotlight: Commodities and trade financingThe commodity trade finance industry was hithard by a number of bankruptcies and fraudscandals in 2020. This led to a significant shift indynamics within this segment, with major banksnow reconsidering their exposure and positioning.Despite the losses incurred by lenders, fundmanagers and industry experts remain upbeatabout the outlook for trade financing and believethat there are plenty of investment opportunitiesahead, especially for those who maintained a strongrecord of risk mitigation. Our panellists explorewhat the future holds for commodities and tradefinancing, as well as the distressed opportunitiesarising from this market. What were the key reasons behind major collapsesin the region, and how can they be avoided in thefuture? How will banks scaling back affect the tradefinancing landscape? How should investors evaluate risk whenconsidering this segment? What distressed investment opportunities haveemerged as a result of the recent collapses?15:15Networking break15:45The road ahead for South and Southeast AsiaThe pandemic continues to impact countriesacross South and Southeast Asia, especially invulnerable sectors such as hospitality and retail.Although governments have offered temporaryrelief to struggling companies, not all are going tocome through unscathed, with distressed investorslooking to capitalise on attractive targets. Ourpanel will provide an investment outlook for thetwo regions, as well as discuss practical ways toapproach distressed opportunities and specialsituations, especially in India and Indonesia. Which markets and sectors in Southeast Asia havethe most opportunities, and what will investors lookfor in targets? What are the different strategies available for debtrestructuring in Indonesia? How will the backlog from RBI’s relief measuresaffect India’s distressed landscape? Will insolvency continue to be the preferredresolution mechanism in India, or will we seealternative pre-insolvency mechanisms?16:45End of conference
