About The Conference
iGlobal Forum is pleased to announce the 3rd Specialty Finance Summit - a deal-sourcing event, where investors meet potential targets and potential acquirers for their businesses, and issuers share best practice with their peers to generate new funding opportunities. As regulations lessen the universe of what banks can hold and finance, new participants continue to flock to the specialty finance sector. Valuations have picked up dramatically, the right side of the balance sheet is becoming increasingly complex, and uncertainty about the regulators’ next moves is keeping investors on their toes. But with all the funds being created to invest in specialty finance opportunities, to what extent is the market really growing, and where do the best opportunities lie? At the summit you will gain new insights into the critical issues shaping the industry. You will have a unique opportunity to network with around 200 of the leading specialty finance companies, BDCs, private equity firms, hedge funds, wealth management firms, senior lenders and asset managers who are active in this space.
