What markets are managers actually funding?

Headlines donโ€™t always match whatโ€™s happening on loan desks. This Fund Forum discussion focuses on the markets fund managers are actively lending in โ€” and why.

Presenters will share observations on borrower demand, liquidity, price stability, and exit environments across regions and property types. Expect insight into migration patterns, regulatory climates, insurance and tax pressures, and local dynamics that affect loan performance. This is boots-on-the-ground perspective, not national averages.
