Last Friday marked the launch of Wildgen’s new “Fund Finance” webinar series hosted by Wildgen’s own Michael Mbayi (Director). The series’ inaugural episode, titled “A Decade of Fund Finance,” features a panel of industry leaders: George Cherry (Managing Director, Citi Private Bank), Michael Mascia (Partner, Finance Co-Chair, Cadwalader), Paul Tannenbaum (Partner, Mayer Brown), and Olivier Vermeulen (Managing Partner Paris, Head of Finance, Paul Hastings). With the first episode aimed at examining Fund Finance over the last decade, the panel’s discussion provides both a cursory overview of the Fund Finance Industry and in-depth analysis of its recent evolution. A few of the topics highlighted include: the Industry’s progression from domestic facilities to more cross-border structures, the increasing complexity of both Fund Investor Letters and Limited Partnership Agreements as Funds grow larger, and Fund Finance’s underappreciated role as part of the solution to the global economic downturn created by the COVID-19 crises.
