The continued growth of BDCs and retail-focused private credit products is increasing pressure on firms to strengthen governance frameworks, improve transparency standards and modernise investor communication models. Greater scrutiny around valuation practices, liquidity expectations and portfolio disclosures is also reshaping how managers position BDC structures within the broader public and private credit landscape.   

This session will examine how firms are evolving BDC strategies to support broader distribution while maintaining investor confidence and portfolio credibility. Panellists will discuss how managers can improve product governance, strengthen reporting frameworks and position retail-focused private credit vehicles for more sustainable long-term growth.
