Apr. 8 Webinar: Are Private Credit Firms Disrupting Traditional Banking Businesses?
 

In this webinar, we will explore the market for private credit and how it functions. Who are the lenders and where do their funds come from? Why would a borrower choose to use a private lender as opposed to a bank? Will these lenders be regulated, and if so, by whom? We will consider the overall implications for the traditional banks. Are they likely to lose some of their best corporate customers? What are some possible outcomes for small vs. large banks, and for the banking industry as a whole? How will the banks react to a competitor trying to invade their markets? Larry Zicklin (BBA, ’57) discusses these questions with Ken Abbott (left), Distinguished Lecturer in the Zicklin School Law Department, and Hank D’Alessandro (right), Vice Chairman of North American Private Credit and Managing Director, Morgan Stanley. With an introduction by Dean Bruce Weber and Q&A moderated by Associate Dean Gwendolyn Webb.
