Evan Frazier Speaking at With Intelligence 2026 Private Credit Midwest 6/18

May 14, 2026

On Thursday, June 18, Evan Frazier, CFA, CAIA will be speaking at the inaugural Private Credit Midwest event hosted by With Intelligence in Chicago.

Evan will be moderating a panel entitled, “Is Europe the next great frontier for private credit?” described as follows:

With bank retrenchment, regulatory divergence and a growing sponsor ecosystem, Europe is increasingly viewed as a structural growth market for private credit. This panel will examine whether the opportunity represents a durable frontier for U.S. investors, or simply a cyclical dislocation; and what it takes to underwrite the region effectively.

• Is Europe’s private credit opportunity driven by long-term structural bank withdrawal, or temporary market conditions? Does the region offer a true diversification hedge against the U.S.?
• Which sectors and countries within Europe are attracting capital now? What do the mid-market and large-cap opportunity sets look like?
• How do risk-adjusted returns in Europe compare today with the U.S., particularly in core direct lending?
• What regulatory and structural considerations need to be taken into account when assessing opportunities in Europe?
• Discussion around currency risk management strategies
• What manager selection considerations should investors make? What differentiates top performing European managers — sector focus, scale, restructuring capabilities?

Private Credit Midwest will bring together allocators and fund managers for insights across today’s market and all private credit sub-asset classes. For more information, please visit the event webpage.
