- The level of capital invested in both private equity firms and hedge funds has reached record-breaking levels, with new deals and fund closings appearing on the cover of The Wall Street Journal daily. To date in 2006, there were nearly 2,200 global private equity buyouts valued at $540 billion. And, hedge funds are in play on the action. There are more than 3,000 funds that manage a collective total of over $1 trillion in investments. This panel, a rare public experi- ence featuring opinions from both investment groups at once, will discuss and debate how private equity firms and hedge funds differ in terms of investment and exit strategies, risk tolerance levels, and liquidity issues, and where the two industries result in culture clashes. Join top players from both financial worlds for a frank discussion on how private equity and hedge funds cooperate, and battle for, control of the world’s most lucrative distressed, overlev- eraged and/or underperforming investments.

- After achieving phenomenal returns in 2002 and 2003, traders of
distressed debt have suffered through a couple of very slow years.
There just hasn’t been very much product in the market and the
prices of what is available have been bid up to prices that hardly
sound distressed. However, based on the currently overheated
leverage loan market, an expected increase in defaults is on the
horizon and the distressed bank loan market may be poised for
significant growth. Who are the players in this market? When will
the market turn and where will the opportunities be for distressed
traders? How will they source opportunities once defaults begin
to increase? How will they tap into CLO’s to find their opportuni-
ties? This panel of experts in distressed investing and restructuring
will provide an overview of the distressed trading market and a
forecast of the near-term opportunities in this market.

- Not every investor is buying distressed debt just to get repaid.
It is increasingly common for opportunistic investors to use the
distressed situation of the target to take control or to wrest away
desired assets. This panel will look at the players and strategies
employed to acquire companies through nontraditional approach-
es such as acquiring senior and junior debt positions, providing
strategic DIP loans, 363 sales and driving development of a plan of
reorganization.

- CLO’s have become the new senior lenders to many compa-
nies tapping into the syndicated loan market for capital. Capital
under management of CLO’s continues to grow at a record pace,
providing a ready source of liquidity to the debt capital markets.
Borrowers don’t always know or recognize some of the holders of
these loans until their loan closes. And, with the recent expansion
of purchase price and leverage multiples, an increasing number of
these loans may be pushed into default and require a restructuring.
How will CLO’s respond to an expected increase in loan defaults?
What are the key factors impacting decisions by CLO managers
in responding to declining credit metrics? This panel will examine
the history and growth of CLO’s, their increasing influence in the
senior leveraged loan market, along with an examination of the
possible reaction from this investment group in the event of a
significant increase in default rates.
