We would love to invite you to our Distressed Private Capital Conference being held in Toronto on Thursday, November 12, 2026. The event will be an exclusive morning for private credit and private equity investors, lenders and restructuring professionals to come together and discuss a private capital market at a crossroads.

Private credit and private equity are both navigating a more demanding market. Maturities are approaching, valuations remain under pressure and businesses increasingly need flexible capital and hands-on support. We will examine where stress and opportunity are building, how lenders and sponsors are responding, and how capital can be deployed to refinance, support, acquire and turn around companies.

Spots are limited. Register early to secure your seat.

Date and Time

Thursday, November 12, 2026 - 8:30 am to 12:00 pm, followed by a takeaway lunch.

8:30 to 9:00 - Registration and Light Breakfast

9:00 to 9:05 - Welcome and Opening Remarks

An introduction to the conference and the central questions shaping the morning.

9:05 to 9:50 - Panel 1: Reading the Market: Where Pressure and Opportunity Are Building

A high-level look at Canada’s private-credit and private-equity markets, including fundraising and deployment conditions, upcoming maturities, valuation pressures, stressed sectors and where investors see the strongest opportunities ahead.

9:50 to 10:35 - Panel 2: Mind the Gap: Where Private Credit Can Win

Private credit lenders can move where traditional lenders can't, taking on tough credits that require flexibility and speed. This panel looks at how sophisticated lenders structure these opportunities smartly from the start, avoid the pitfalls that turn a good deal bad, and manage the workout when a credit does run into trouble.

11:05 to 11:15 - Hot Takes from the Room

A short interactive segment capturing audience perspectives on the issues and opportunities discussed during the morning.

Panelists will discuss identifying the opportunity, allocating capital wisely, and executing the turnaround alongside management, CROs, trustees, and other restructuring professionals.
