2nd Annual Global Recovery Investing Summit: Maximizing Opportunities in Distressed and Troubled Assets

Pre-conference registration is now closed. If you would like to register at the door, the walk-up rate is US$1950.

Whether you prefer "Distressed", "Recovery", "Troubled Asset" or "Turnaround" investors, the importance of those who finance restructurings cannot be ignored. We may indeed be in the midst of a prolonged recovery; however the world in 2010 is a much different place than pre-crisis. Change is happening and those who finance this change will continue to play a valuable role in the global economy. With this in mind, FinanceAsia and AsianInvestor are pleased to announce our 2nd annual event servicing the distressed investing and restructuring industry, the largest and most respected event of its kind in the Asia-Pac region.

Who should attend?

-Distressed investment funds/traders, including distressed debt investors, hedge funds and private equity funds
-Institutional investors and private banks who are considering adding distressed or troubled assets to their existing portfolio
-Sellers of non-core assets - corporate spin-offs and financial owners looking to re-balance portfolios
-Strategic acquirers looking to acquire distressed assets
-Service providers involved in distressed transactions including law firms (bankruptcy), turnaround consultants, brokers, technology providers etc.

FinanceAsia and AsianInvestor are pleased to announce that the world’s leading authority on corporate default prediction will be making a special presentation:

Professor Ed Altman, Max L. Heine, Professor of Finance, NYU

And!

Professor Victor Shih of Northwestern University on the true level of private and public debt in China and the implications for NPLs and the overall economy (especially topical with last week's Taizinai bankruptcy making headlines)

Conference panels and presentations will focus on:

- The distressed investing landscape.
- Where do the best opportunities lie: Asia v. US v. Europe v. Middle East?
- Which industries/sectors are ripe for restructuring?
- How do you source distressed investment opportunities in Asia? How do you find the deals others don’t see?
- The blurry role that investment banks play in the process. Can one simultaneously be an investor, broker, and lender?
- China and India, where are the opportunities, the pitfalls experienced and the future challenges?
- Opportunities in distressed Asian real estate
- What are Institutional Investors looking for in distressed investment specialists and have the criteria changed?
