Creating value from distressed debt
TMA Europe's fourth annual event dedicated to distressed investing will take place in London on Thursday, 17 September. More than 100 buyers, sellers and advisory professionals are expected to attend the Distressed Investing Conference at Deloitte Auditorium, 2 New Street Square, from 4pm until 8pm. Hear from those closely engaged in sell-side portfolio divestment and buy-side portfolio appraisal as to what asset classes are on offer, and get an update on the most exciting opportunity for the restructuring industry in many years to create value and fee income from the unwinding of the years of over-exuberant lending. Book now.
With more than €1.5 trillion of NPLs in European bank portfolios and pressure from regulatory and AQR pressure to offload increasing, the big question for anyone working in the distressed investing market is where is the action going to be this year and next.
Many experts in the field believe there is a really exciting opportunity for the restructuring industry to create value and fee income from the unwinding of the years of over-exuberant lending.
So the questions go on. Who's buying? Who's selling? What are the opportunities in SME corporate loans?
And for practitioners involved in turnaround and restructuring, what are the implications and opportunities? How do work-out professionals get a share of the action?
While there are obviously no clear-cut answers, TMA Europe's Distressed Investing Conference, being held in London on Thursday, 17 September, aims to shed light on some of these key issues. The fourth annual event will see expert speakers sharing their insight on topics ranging from whether the markets are working smoothly to what professionals can expect from regulatory requirements and profit expectations. The event, expected to be attended by more than 100 buyers, sellers and advisory professionals, is also a great chance to hear first-hand the views of those involved in sell-side portfolio divestment and buy-side portfolio appraisal as to what asset classes are on offer, what frustrates sellers and what drives the buyers.
Book now to ensure your place at the forthcoming Distressed Investing Event.
