Private Credit Revisited: An Alternative to Traditional Lending?

The Kingsley Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Hills, MI Visit Website

Wednesday, February 04, 2026 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM iCalendar Eastern Standard Time

Join TMA Detroit for breakfast and to revisit private credit – a hot and evolving topic in the finance market. Private credit encompasses a broad range of debt strategies and is entering 2026 at an inflection point with trillions of dollars under management, while facing its first meaningful credit test since the 2008 financial crisis. Yet, the big question still lingers --- will private credit actors take a proactive risk management approach in an attempt to prevent larger losses, or will they delay recognition of problems, which could eventually result in higher defaults?

During our panel discussion, five industry experts will make sense of today’s private credit environment and discuss the nuanced road ahead, as capital inflows continue, expanding use cases --- but with elevated leverage, strained borrower fundamentals, and increased regulatory scrutiny, coupled with more relaxed leverage-lending for traditional banks. Buckle-up as our panel tackles the continued demand for tailored capital with traditional lending limitations that seeks complex borrowing needs, and ultimately works to unpack --- how and where private credit plays a role today and discusses whether private credit helping or hurting as we embrace the tides of 2026.
