Dislocated & allocated: Where opportunistic credit is heading in 2026
- 9fin team
Join 9fin on Thursday, Jan. 29 from 5 - 7:30 PM at Monterey in NYC for an evening of networking and conversation under Chatham House Rules as we explore the evolving landscape for opportunistic credit investors.
Opportunistic credit has always thrived in moments of dislocation, and these days, there's been no shortage of those. As we head into 2026, higher-for-longer rates, refinancing walls, and uneven growth are reshaping where risk sits and who gets paid to take it.
Our panel will dig into where the real opportunities are emerging — from stressed and distressed situations to dislocated parts of the capital structure — what could derail the trade, and how investors are positioning for the next phase of the cycle.
Speakers include:
- Sheel Patel, Partner, Mayer Brown
- Rob Ruberton, Co-Founder & Portfolio Manager, Lane 42
- Pete Sluka, Partner, Co-Chair of Hybrid Capital, Latham & Watkins
- Rachel Butt, Distressed Debt Editor, 9fin
- Shubham Saharan, Senior Reporter -- US Private Credit, 9fin
