Back when NAV was something that guided you to your chosen venue for the evening, the FFA conference in Miami (and earlier still, New York) was a slightly more 'NAV'igable event.
Times have changed and far from panels explaining subscription finance to a group of eager-to-learn lenders, now over 2,000 attendees will descend on the event to discuss topics like NAV, CRT, SRTs and securitizations that a few years ago would have drawn blank stares if mentioned in conversation.
Below is a quick primer on the hot topics for FFA Miami 2025 and what panels to hit if you're interested in learning more.
Private Credit is a hot – if not the hottest – asset class right now. This asset class has a nexus to a number of Cadwalader’s practices from fund finance to capital markets and beyond. To that end, last week we attended the Deal Catalyst Global Private Credit conference which was held in Abu Dhabi, UAE. It was an opportunity to be in the middle of important discussions and to position Cadwalader as an integral player in deploying capital from the Middle East into the United States and the English and European markets.
Cadwalader is proud to be a Diamond Sponsor of the 14th Annual Global Fund Finance Symposium, which is just days away! We look forward to seeing you at Fontainebleau Miami Beach.
Plus, big news! Tom Brady will be joining as the closing keynote speaker at the conference!

Ireland’s prominence in global fund finance brings unique legal considerations. In the first installment of Irish Fund Finance in Five, Mason Hayes & Curran lawyers explores key Irish-specific issues in fund financings, from third-party guarantees to security considerations.
In entering into a fund financing, both the Lender and the Fund have expectations that the relationship will be a success. The Lender is appreciative of the association, and the Fund is confident in its ability to raise capital, invest and pay back any borrowings as and when due under the credit documents with the Lender.
But what happens when things are not working out and the investment manager/management company needs to operate?
