Edgar Perez, Columbia Business School MBA and former McKinsey Consultant, hosting GoldenNetworking.com's Distressed Investing Leaders Forum 2010; Conference will analyze recent developments in the Distressed Real Estate, Debt and Financial Assets Markets
New York, NY, USA, February 22, 2010 (PRESSbooth.ORG) -- Edgar Perez, founder of GoldenNetworking.com, the premier networking community for business executives, entrepreneurs, professionals and diplomats, will host Distressed Investing Leaders Forum 2010 on February 26th, the 2nd edition of what is becoming the must-attend conference for experts and professionals in Distressed Investing. Armed with a Columbia Business School MBA and after consulting stints at McKinsey and IBM, Mr. Perez has assembled an exceptional faculty of top business and investment minds who will provide the most up to date review of the complexities that arise investing in Distressed Financial Assets, Debt and Commercial and Residential Real Estate.
The Distressed Investing landscape is in the midst of a radical metamorphosis being shaped by forces here and abroad. Indeed, after a couple of turbulent years in the financial markets, investors are examining the onslaught of financial assets and real estate properties to come to the market. Record numbers of investment groups and real estate investment trusts are raising capital to fund acquisitions of these distressed assets on the cheap. These dislocations have created unparalleled opportunities for investors, private equity and hedge fund managers, bankers, real estate specialists, management consultants and legal and accounting advisors.
These and other critical topics will be the subject of discussion and debate among a distinguished cast of thought leaders, practitioners, private equity investors and professional advisors that includes:
