Inveztor @ Global ABS 2026

The 30th Anniversary edition of GlobalABS has now come to an end - it’s been a fantastic week with so much opportunity to catch up with clients, partners and friends.
A few themes kept coming up in conversations:
- Private credit and securitisation continue to converge, with asset-backed finance, NAV lending and structured funding featuring heavily.
- Investors remain active but increasingly focused on transparency, governance and risk.
- The AI conversation has shifted from potential to practical implementation and efficiency gains.
- Across all of these topics, data quality, consistency and trust kept emerging as critical foundations.
- Digital infrastructure, particularly data centres and AI-related assets, felt like a much bigger focus this year.
Overall, the mood felt positive and focused. The industry seems to be moving from discussing what’s possible to figuring out how to scale it.
Interested to hear what stood out to others who were in Barcelona this week!
