    In an environment of uncertainty where cash is KING, what are Banks and Direct Lenders thinking about post-pandemic? But before I go there, where were we?

    Pre-pandemic, the global economy was buzzing along on two and half or three cylinders and I say this because even though the US was steaming along on 4 cylinders, China, Germany and many countries in Europe and the rest of the world were showing signs of financial fatigue with slowing economic output as measured by GDP growth.

    Join us for a panel on Investment Opportunities & Working Capital Solutions to Turn Around the Economy in Time of COVID-19. The Pandemic is a crisis like no other affecting two fronts: the medical and the economy. The importance to keep the economy running during the crisis is critical for those essential services, food distribution, delivery and public utilities, then will come the recovery. Liquidity is the key of the game and where the alternative financial sector should focus. The success of the pace of recovery will depend crucially on policies undertaken during the crisis. If policies ensure that workers do not lose their jobs, renters and homeowners are not evicted, companies avoid bankruptcy, and business and trade networks are preserved, the recovery will occur sooner and more smoothly. All working capital solutions that free liquidity into the market will be part of a quick recovery. Each of the panelists will have an opportunity to speak about their strategy, performance expectations and their teams while they discuss their observations surrounding today's current events. Each panelist will provide investors and asset class managers with insight into their thought processes around risk mitigation and potential opportunity coming out of the current environment.
