II Events Announces the 6th Annual Distressed Investing Forum, February 27-28, 2008, New York City

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 5, 2007 -- Institutional Investor Events (II Events) is proud to announce the 6th Annual Distressed Investing Forum: The Premier Global Event for Emerging Investment Opportunities, Turnaround Management and Second Lien Financing, February 27-28, 2008 at The Union League Club, New York City. This forum is held in conjunction with the ALL NEW Investing In Emerging Markets Forum, taking place at the same venue on February 26, 2008.

The fall-out from turbulence in the US subprime mortgage market has led many prospectors to predict a financial downturn in the credit market. Standard & Poor's estimates US corporate defaults could rise to more than $35 billion over the next 15 months. Eyes remain fixed on take-over giant Cerberus's stake in Chrysler and what this will mean for the struggling US automotive industry. This climate is a virtual breeding ground of opportunity for private equity firms and hedge funds that specialize in seeking deals with troubled industries.

Produced in association with Credit Investment News, the 6th Annual Distressed Investment Forum offers delegates the tools to stay ahead of the curve, gain expert insights into the current state of the economy, and learn how to maximize profit potential through effective turnaround management! Our tracks give you the choice of two dedicated curriculums focusing on Emerging Investment Opportunities or Corporate Restructuring and Turnaround Management.
