Summaries:

Panel 1: Assessing Risk in a Volatile Market

The rising cost of capital, inflation, and fluctuating asset values create a market not seen for 50 years. Hand-in-hand, the increased cost of capital coupled with inflation places pressure on margins and volume – both internally within your organization and externally to our clients. And, determining asset values may seem like “catching a falling knife”. Please, join a discussion on the impacts on current and future investments and practices your peers use to address these issues.

Moderator: David Ellis, Founder & Co-President at GemCap

Panel 2: Are Global Supply Chain Issues and Labor Shortages Easing?

Initially economists thought that the global supply-chain issues were temporary due to the inability of the supply side to catch up with the increased demand unleashed by the end of the pandemic lockdowns. But these issues weren’t temporary and have persisted well beyond the end of the pandemic lockdown with port congestion, container shortages, product delivery delays and chip shortages. At the same time, we are hearing that companies are facing unprecedented challenges trying to find enough workers to fill open jobs. Are we seeing these issues improving or continuing until the end of 2022 and into 2023?

Join our panel of distinguished credit funds as we hear their views on the supply chain and labor issues and the impact on their portfolio companies.

Panel 3: Changes in Consumer Behavior: Trend Shifts, E-commerce, and WFH. 
Let’s explore how the pandemic has impacted our daily lives. We will take a micro-level peek into how our changing behaviors affect the larger scale shifts we're seeing in the lending industry and larger global economy.
