SuperReturn Private Credit Asia 2026

SuperReturn Private Credit Asia is the dedicated regional event for institutional investors deploying capital into private credit strategies across Asia-Pacific. Held in Hong Kong and produced by Informa Connect, the conference convenes the LPs, GPs, banks and advisors active in what has become one of the fastest-growing pockets of the global credit market.

Asian private credit has expanded from a niche of distressed and special-situations specialists into a multi-strategy asset class spanning direct lending, mezzanine, asset-based lending, real estate credit, infrastructure debt and structured solutions. The conference reflects that breadth, with sessions on each strategy plus crossover discussions on capital flows, FX hedging, regulatory differences across jurisdictions and the practical mechanics of underwriting credit in markets without standardized financial reporting.

Geographically, the agenda covers China credit (onshore and offshore), the India direct-lending boom, Australian non-bank lending, Korean institutional flows into private credit, Japanese mezzanine and restructuring, and Southeast Asian secured lending. Each market has distinct legal regimes, restructuring conventions and currency considerations — the event provides one of the few venues where they're all discussed back-to-back by the people actually deploying capital in each.

The audience tilts toward Asian and global LPs benchmarking GP capability against the increasingly competitive set of regional credit managers, plus a strong showing from law firms, restructuring advisors and prime services teams.

Institutional LPs (sovereign wealth, pension, insurance, family office) allocating to Asian credit; GPs running direct lending, mezzanine, distressed and special-situations strategies in APAC; investment banks, restructuring advisors, fund finance lenders and law firms.

Banks across Asia-Pacific continue to retreat from middle-market and special-situations lending, opening structural opportunity for non-bank credit providers. At the same time, regional LPs (particularly Korean institutions and Australian super funds) are rapidly scaling their private credit allocations.

The conference is the most concentrated venue for understanding which Asian credit strategies are absorbing that capital, which managers are credible across cycles and how Asian credit risk-adjusted returns actually compare to the US and European equivalents.
