In the past couple of years, every industry has felt the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Canada’s secondary lending market is no exception. While many expected secondary lenders to thrive in the midst of the financial chaos caused by the pandemic, in reality, the industry has witnessed decreased activity and increased competition.

In this informative 30 minute discussion, our expert panel discusses what trends they are seeing and where they expect things to go in 2022. We cover, among other topics, the following:

• which industries are distressed and the common issues facing borrowers;
• traditional bank lenders and our neighbours to the south encroaching on Canadian secondary lenders’ territory;
• the growing impact of ESG considerations on secondary lenders; and
• what they expect the big banks to do in 2022, and how this will impact the secondary lender market going forward.
