Distressed Investors Discuss Investment Opportunities in Real Estate, Media & Financial Services

NEW YORK, March 3 /PRNewswire/ --  As commercial real estate follows the ill-fated footsteps of the residential market, financial services firms flounder, and media outlets struggle, the Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review Restructuring & Turnaround Summit will provide actionable insights into the opportunities, risks and rewards of investing in these troubled industries.

Scheduled for March 10, 2010 at Bridgewaters in New York, the Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review Restructuring & Turnaround Summit will feature three sector-specific panels designed to give attendees an in-depth look at opportunities emerging in three key industries: Commercial Real Estate, Financial Services and Media.

Commercial Real Estate: How Far Will It Fall?

The commercial real estate industry appears to be on the same path the residential real estate market forged in recent years. Aaron K. Bryson, vice president of Barclays Capital and Ronald F. Greenspan, senior managing director of FTI Consulting will discuss how hard the commercial real estate market will fall and which opportunities investors should watch closely.

Financial Services: Does It Still Make Cents?

With the FDIC on pace to seize a record number of banks, John J. Oros, managing director of J.C. Flowers & Co. and Kenneth P. Slosser, senior managing director & head, financial institutions investment banking at FBR Capital Markets & Co. will discuss what it will take to turnaround these troubled firms. They will also pinpoint opportunities -- beyond banks -- that may emerge from the financial services sector.

Media: Who Will Survive the Restructuring?

The economic downturn and the corresponding drop off in advertising revenue sent many struggling media companies into or to the brink of bankruptcy.  Michael E. Paasche, managing director of capital markets at Providence Equity Partners and John Puchalla, vice president & senior analyst at Moody's Investors Service will discuss where the media industry is headed and what it will take for troubled outlets to survive.

The Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review Restructuring & Turnaround Summit will convene top turnaround specialists, bankruptcy attorneys, private equity and distressed debt investors and other industry experts for one day of in-depth discussions on distressed debt fundraising, investment, deal flow, liquidity and returns.
