- Are allies needed? Who deserves a seat at the table? What characteristics set truly suitable partners apart?
- The next steps: what is still missing to effectively broaden the ecosystem? What does the High-Risk Credit market still need to reach maturity? Can the skills currently available on the market be considered sufficient today?

SERVICERS FACING THE HIGH-RISK CREDIT CHALLENGE: EVOLUTION OF THE MODEL, THE ROLE OF PRIVATE CAPITAL AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
- The servicers of tomorrow: simple managers, or the new market leaders of the distressed market? How the role of servicers is changing along the non-performing credit chain, and how far this transformation could go.
- The challenge of the next five years: still just technical suppliers to the banks, or architects of new value-creating solutions through activation and partnership with Private Capital?

ROUNDTABLE
HIGH-RISK CREDIT ECOSYSTEM: THE INVESTORS’ PERSPECTIVE, FROM OPPORTUNISM TO STRATEGY
- Private Capital as a dynamic risk manager across the entire capital structure: what this means for banks, companies and advisors at the crisis table.
- Actual investor appetite, sector attractiveness and new intervention strategies. How attractive is today’s distressed market really today for Private Capital?
- Coexistence between banking logic and investment logic along the capital structure: the conditions for a collaboration that works.
- The Asset Contribution Fund as a tool for managing High-Risk Credit: a ten-year assessment, spanning the market, banks and investors.
- Banks have been among the leading promoters of the instrument since its launch: what has worked in the relationship between credit institutions and Contribution Funds, and what remains unresolved.
- How much capital has truly been mobilized, and how much new finance have Contribution Funds actually channeled toward industrial turnarounds and distressed asset management? Merely superficial financial transactions, or a genuinely useful tool for managing and reviving difficult cases?
- Real estate has been the preferred asset class for many contribution transactions. A decade on, what value has actually been created?
