Event summary
Oaktree Capital executives, Brook Hinchman and Matt Wilson, believe the "higher-for-longer" interest-rate environment is revealing significant vulnerabilities in credit markets. While this presents challenges for overleveraged companies, it also creates substantial opportunities for distressed investors with expertise in restructuring, scale, and flexibility. They anticipate growth in the secondary market for private loans and in rescue financings offering high premiums and equity participation.
