When AI disruption meets capital desperation in leveraged finance
AI is no longer just a technology equity story. It’s now a capital markets, debt financing, and infrastructure story—one that will reshape global economies on a scale not seen since the industrial revolution.
AI simultaneously affects demand for capital, sector winners/losers, public vs. private markets, and durability of corporate cash flows. In this webcast, we’ll examine these dynamics through the lens of leveraged finance (sub-investment grade) credit markets, specifically:
- The capital overflow problem: Why IG markets alone can't absorb AI-driven financing demand, and what that means for lev fin
- The disruption divide: Separating AI beneficiaries from companies facing structural obsolescence
- The financing inflection: How AI-related high yield and leveraged financing is reshaping risk/return profiles
- Where to look: Emerging opportunities and risks across sub-investment grade credit

AI simultaneously affects demand for capital, sector winners/losers, public vs. private markets, and durability of corporate cash flows. In this webcast, we’ll examine these dynamics through the lens of leveraged finance (sub-investment grade) credit markets.
Today’s emerging market landscape presents a compelling opportunity for financial advisors navigating valuation disparities and geopolitical complexity. This webcast aims to equip advisors with actionable insights into emerging market investing – a disciplined approach to capturing long-term growth in undervalued securities across dynamic markets. Participants will deepen their understanding of valuation drivers and geopolitical risks, enabling them to construct informed emerging market allocations and confidently articulate the opportunity to investment committees and clients in evolving global conditions.
Today’s market environment poses many challenges for global investors as well established relationships unwind and a new economic and political order take hold. With fixed income markets nearly priced for perfection, today’s conversation delves into why that may (or may not) be a fair assessment of future expectations. From Fed policy and consumer and corporate balance sheet strength, to historically attractive yields with historically tight spreads, senior fixed income portfolio managers, Andrzej Skiba and Tim Leary, and institutional fixed income portfolio manager, Anne Greenwood, will share their views on US fixed income and the risks and opportunities they are seeing in markets today.
