Why should I attend?

Opportunities in distressed investing have never been more lucrative. The inevitable credit crunch has been the main concern of the majority of investors. However, what’s coming next? Could credit crunch be turned around and used for accessing new (cheap) opportunities? Which industries have had it the worst? Are there signs to watch for when trying to predict which industries could be hit next? What are the top ten distressed debt cases that marked the past year? What is the winning strategy when restructuring a troubled company?

Through panel discussions, presentations, and case studies, this conference will create a dialogue to pinpoint the investment opportunities available, the emerging asset sectors, and the likely risks and returns that will present themselves to help integrate the right investments into one’s portfolio.
