Conference description:
Last summer's credit crunch changed the rules for buyout funds. As the turmoil in the capital markets continues, executing deals has become challenging. But private capital investors coffers are full and ready for deployment. How will sponsors put their money to work? Where do they see opportunities now that the era of cheap credit is at an end? How will buyout funds reshape their businesses to keep generating superior returns? When and where will distressed investors benefit from the fallout from the last few years of frenetic investing? Will venture firms continue to enjoy the limelight? Will sovereign wealth funds evolve into competitors of major buyout firms? How are hedge funds going to ride out the latest twist in the cycle?
For expert insight, ideas and contacts make plans to join The Deal on May 14th to find out how to position your business to benefit from the tectonic shift in the private capital investing landscape.
