On May 13, 2026, Davis Polk partner and Investment Management practice head Leor Landa and partner Michael Hong will be among the speakers at Markets Group’s 14th Annual Private Equity New York Forum.

Leor will speak on the “Maximizing Returns: The Rise of Secondary Transactions and Continuation Funds” panel. Topics discussed will include the key trends driving the expansion of secondary transactions, including portfolio liquidity solutions, investor demand and evolving structures, as well as the strategic use of continuation funds, where firms retain and extend investments in high-performing assets, as a way to maximize value and provide flexibility for both investors and portfolio companies.

Michael will speak on the “Special Situations & Distressed Lending in Private Debt” panel. Topics discussed will include how private equity and credit managers are deploying special situations and distressed lending strategies to unlock value and generate strong returns in volatile markets, as well as how LPs evaluate these opportunities, balancing risk, alignment and portfolio fit in a shifting credit landscape.
