Abu Dhabi, Blue Owl and bridging lenders

◆ UAE issuers leave emerging markets lable behind
◆ What Blue Owl can teach about private credit for the masses
◆ A bump in the road for UK bridging lenders on the way to securitization
Abu Dhabi was in the bond market this week just two days after JP Morgan confirmed that issuers from the UAE would be removed from its benchmark Emerging Markets Bond Indices (EMBI) by the end of March. We look into what EMBI exclusion means for Abu Dhabi and other UAE credits.
We also discussed the recent situation at Blue Owl, which met with a wall of redemption requests from investors worried about the imapct of AI on the software companies that its private credit funds lend to. We discover what lessons private credit and investors can learn about investing in illiquid assets.
Finally, we discuss the future of UK bridging loan companies. It is a market awash with small lenders, two of which recently went into administration. But it had also been an asset class that had appeared to be making inroads into securitization. We look at the best way forward for the industry in light of those developments.
