Private Equity: Down But Not Out, Waiting for the Next Opportunity

 

 

 

- Changed Regulatory Environment and Market Landscape

- Distressed Assets: Taking a Plunge in Murky Waters

- Making Deals Work with Less Leverage & Making Old Deals Work in a New Environment

- Why Are You Buying?  Strategic versus Financial Acquisitions

 

 

 

The game may have changed – the public markets are in turmoil, the economy is slowing and credit not available or too expensive - but private equity opportunities and deals are not dead.  They only come in a different form, using more equity or other financing techniques. Also, many opportunities have opened up in distressed assets. Led by private equity executives, investment bankers and experienced private equity attorneys, this program will discuss the changed landscape of private equity, new players, new opportunities, new structures – and how to cope with deals done in an earlier, headier environment.

 

 

 

 

With the biggest investment banks now either gone or converting to "bank holding company" status, what opportunities are there for private equity funds to step into the traditional merchant bank role of investment banks? 

 

- How will the changing landscape affect mid-tier investment banks and funds?

- What impact will recent events have on the carried interest debate?

 

 

- What asset classes look best for a turnaround?

- What lessons do the S&L Crisis and the Resolution Trust Corporation have for funds buying from TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program)?

- Will commercial real estate suffer like residential?

- Opportunities in the purchases of distressed debt?

 

 

- With access to debt financing either non-existent or prohibitively expensive, how do you  make deals work? 

- How do you achieve above average returns with little or no leverage?

- Although the credit marks have changed dramatically in mere months, thousands of deals were done in heady times. Now what? 

- Do you keep funding troubled portfolio companies, cut your losses?
