Dan Barnes’ Post

Extremely delighted to be part of this year’s LMA Syndicated Loans Conference, with more than 800 delegates joining us in person. I have included some key takeaways below but for a full list of bite-sized summaries on every session during the conference, feel free to check out the LMA Annual Conference Key Takeaways LinkedIn posts which have been released in four parts earlier this week. Key takeaways:   (i)  Loan volumes are likely to increase in excess of 20% within the next 12 months. This is due to the intervening changes we are experiencing and the significant drop in volumes in the first half of the year. (ii)  There is a clear commitment from banks and institutional investors to meet ESG goals. However, certain issues remain in terms of ESG data availability, transparency, and methodologies for measuring impact. (iii)  Private debt – the balance of power between the distributed market and direct lending has waxed and waned over the past 24 months. For borrowers deciding between syndicated and private debt, factors such as pricing certainty, cost of capital efficiency, and speed of execution are likely to be points for consideration. (iv)  The case of Kirschner v. JPMorgan and the threat of classifying loans as securities. Thanks for reading! As always, I am aiming to learn more about the loan market and its related areas. Happy to connect if you are too! #Syndicatedloan #Banking #Lending

As the final day unfolds at the Baader Bank AG Helvea Swiss Equities Conference 2024, the brilliance of the past three days persists. Held from January 10 to 12 in Bad Ragaz, this year's conference convened over 80 distinguished Swiss companies and investors, showcasing a diverse array of investment perspectives. Throughout this dynamic event, approximately half of the Swiss Market Index-listed companies showcased their accomplishments, injecting vibrancy into the conference. The enduring importance of direct interactions became evident in the plethora of individual and small group meetings. As the conference draws to a close, the lasting impact of the Baader Helvea Swiss Equities Conference on fortifying liquidity for listed companies becomes apparent. The event provided a vital platform for insightful discussions underscoring the enduring value of face-to-face exchanges in the financial landscape. The conference stands as a testament to the resilience of such gatherings and their pivotal role in fostering connections, enhancing liquidity, and charting the course for the future. I am sure that the echoes of the impactful conversations will reverberate throughout the corporate landscape.

I had the privilege of attending the 2023 awards ceremony hosted by PIMFA - Personal Investment Management & Financial Advice Association, the trade association for the wealth management, investment services, and financial advice sector. As a judge for this event, I was not only honoured to see all the amazing entries but also was deeply inspired by the commitment of these industry firms to promote diversity and inclusion. PIMFA plays the crucial role in championing best practices and initiatives that foster a more inclusive and diverse financial industry, reflecting the ever-changing demographics of our customer base. The event was a celebration of all the incredible work being done in this regard. One remarkable aspect of the awards was the recognition of the hidden gems within our industry, such innovative efforts to enhance inclusivity. These initiatives, often concealed from the public eye, are driving positive change throughout the sector. Moreover, the ceremony underscored the presence of exceptional and diverse talents emerging in our industry. These individuals are reshaping businesses, offering greater support to diverse communities and clients, and leading the way in innovation. The number and quality of entries were a testament to the industry's progress. It's heartening to see firms collectively focused on nurturing talent from all backgrounds. A massive thank you and well done to everyone involved, great to feel so included! We have every reason to be optimistic about the positive changes on the horizon. #PIMFADIAwards23 #diversity #inclusion #diversityandinclusion #wealthmanagement #financialadvice A big thank you to all the sponsors: SEI Morningstar Raymond James Clearstream FIS Royal London Charles Schwab Mark Allen Group
