Together with the Center for Big Data in Finance (BIGFI) at Copenhagen Business School (CBS), Capital Four had the pleasure of welcoming participants to the fifth annual Credit Day. Once again, the event brought together leading academics, experienced investors, and industry practitioners for a full day of discussions on some of the most important developments shaping global credit markets.

The day was opened by Anders Bjerre Trolle, Professor at BIGFI and CBS, and Sandro Näf, CEO and Co-Founder of Capital Four, who welcomed participants and introduced a broad agenda spanning public and private credit, risk pricing, AI, and the evolving role of flexible credit strategies.

Throughout the day, discussions covered a broad range of topics shaping today’s credit markets. These included what lead banks learn from leveraged loan investors, the pricing of risk in credit and equity index options, risk-adjusted returns in private debt funds, and the relationship between bank capital requirements and the growth of private credit. The program also featured panel discussions on the growing role of AI in credit markets and the evolving role of multi-asset credit in navigating complexity, flexibility, and return drivers.

The day concluded with a conversation between Sandro Näf and Christian Clausen, professional board member and former CEO of Nordea, reflecting on leadership and the evolution of the financial sector.

We extend our sincere thanks to all speakers, panellists, moderators, and participants for their valuable contributions and for making Credit Day 2026 another insightful and engaging event. We also thank BIGFI and Copenhagen Business School for the continued collaboration and for hosting the event.
