Discover key insights with Covenant Review, LevFin Insights and CreditSights at our upcoming webinar on the EMEA leveraged finance outlook for 2026.

Join us as our panel of experts examines the year ahead for European leveraged finance markets. With 2026 underway, market participants are navigating a dynamic landscape shaped by evolving covenant structures, shifting spread environments, and heightened scrutiny of liability management exercises.

Understanding these trends—and what they signal for new issuance, refinancing activity, and documentation standards—is essential for anyone investing in or advising on leveraged loans, high yield bonds, and private credit in the EMEA region.

Webinar Topics Include:

  • New-Issue Pipeline & Deal Flow: Analysis of the European leveraged finance pipeline for 2026, including M&A transactions, new-money deals, and opportunistic refinancing activity.
  • Spread Outlook: Expectations for new-issue pricing dynamics across leveraged loan and high yield markets as we enter 2026.
  • Covenant Trends & Outlook: Review of 2025 covenant developments and what documentation standards and creditor protections to anticipate in the year ahead.
  • Liability Management Exercises (LMEs): Trends observed in 2025 and outlook for 2026, including implications of recent LME-related litigation.
