Summary
Europe’s credit markets are flashing mixed signals: some see a drought of opportunity, others see one of the richest hunting grounds in years. So, who’s right? Akshay Shah, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Kyma Capital, joins Tom and Drew to unpack why he believes today’s European distressed debt market offers one of the deepest and most durable opportunity sets in decades. Shah also explores what makes Europe’s credit markets so complex and inefficient compared with the US, how private credit is reshaping the landscape, and why the rule of law matters more to investors than many might think.
