This year, AFME is launching its first European High Yield and Private Debt Forum in Amsterdam on 22nd October 2024. The forum will bring together over 100 of the leading names in the High Yield, Leveraged Loans and Private Debt / Direct Lending markets, providing topical and invaluable discussions, and a great opportunity to network. To build on AFME’s successes with its previous Annual European Leveraged Finance Conference series, AFME is recalibrating this event with a focus not only on high yield bonds and leveraged loans, but also coverage of the sizable European Private Debt / Direct Lending market. This is in recognition of the importance of all three markets to European corporates and investors, recent changes in the composition of the market and increased regulatory attention.
