## Resource

In this episode of the Know More. Risk Better. podcast, Winnie Cisar is joined by Kerry Kantin to discuss the key trends, risks, and opportunities shaping the broadly syndicated loan market. They examine the rebound in loan issuance, the growing divergence between higher- and lower-quality credits, and how AI-related uncertainty is affecting software and technology borrowers. The conversation also explores refinancing activity, liability management protections, the approaching 2028 maturity wall, and the evolving relationship between private credit and broadly syndicated loans. They assess the rise of AI infrastructure and data center financings, changing CLO dynamics, and the technical factors influencing leveraged finance markets. This episode offers valuable insights into the forces driving loan market performance and the risks and opportunities credit investors should watch in the months ahead.
