This year’s summit brought together investors, fund managers, advisors, and industry leaders to exchange perspectives on the latest developments in private credit, distressed debt, real estate, and the secondary market landscape. Once again, the event proved to be a key meeting point for meaningful dialogue around emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the sector.
Throughout the day, panel discussions were dynamic and rich in expert viewpoints. Alexandros Efstratoglou, Group Chief Business Development Officer at Relational, contributed to a focused conversation on one of the industry’s most critical subjects: Opportunities in NPL & Distressed Debt.
We were delighted to partner with DDC for this year’s Forum. It was a great opportunity to connect with banks, investors, and practitioners at a time when the NPL market continues to evolve — shifting from large, headline transactions toward more niche and secondary opportunities.
Our panel discussion reflected exactly that. The conversation brought forward meaningful insights on how technology can be the real x-factor in operational optimization and the smarter allocation of resources.
It was especially exciting to emphasize how AI – driven approaches are reshaping asset-level visibility, decision-making, and portfolio pricing — enabling investors to evaluate, structure, and manage increasingly complex portfolios with far greater precision.
