Headlines, Headlines, Headlines with Ares’ Kipp deVeer

Private Market Talks: Conversations and insights on the private markets with private capital’s leading figures.

This is a special episode that we recorded live at Proskauer’s flagship Private Credit Summit, part of its private capital event series. More than 200 capital allocators, lenders and investors joined us for an afternoon of lively discussion about private credit, fund formation and other hot topics. A highlight of the event was this conversation with the keynote speaker, Kipp deVeer, Head of Credit at Ares Management, which we recorded live for out Private Market Talks audience.

Ares is one of the world’s leading private credit asset managers, so we took the opportunity to get Kipp’s views on some of the most recent market trends hitting the headlines. We cover the impact of lower interest rates on loan volumes and returns, the probability of higher defaults, the fundraising environment, and the potential for dispersion among asset managers and consolidation within the industry.
