About The Conference
With the high prices of U.S. distressed loans and general scarcity of distress in the market, fund managers are facing a shortfall of investible deals. But there are profitable opportunities for those who seek them out; and many managers are moving outside of their conventional investment profiles to find them. An extended period of low prices for oil, coal and metal is causing distress and volatility in the energy markets. AQR and slow growth are creating distressed opportunities in Europe. High leverage and inadequate capital structures are gradually building momentum for the next U.S. distressed cycle. Success in today’s climate rests on your ability to seek out the next big investment stories, and to access and unlock those opportunities. iGlobal Forum’s 6th Distressed Investing Summit placed participants face-to-face with exclusively senior-level representatives from leading: distressed fund managers, private equity firms, hedge funds, distressed debt providers, M&A and turnaround advisors, bankruptcy advisors, loan originators and rating agencies.
