Keynote panel: The state of the US distressed and restructuring market
2023 is poised to see a resurgence in distressed and restructuring activity in North America. According to Debtwire data, January 2023 saw 50% more bankruptcy filings compared to the same time last year, and with all signs pointing towards further economic turmoil and a looming recession, it is imperative to take stock of the market and for distressed asset managers to seek out opportunistic activity prospects. Our panel of fund managers and experts will review the macroeconomic climate, discuss distressed investment strategies, and share their insights on how they are managing liabilities in a time of flux.
- What is the state of the market given the macroeconomic climate, and how have distressed investing strategies evolved domestically?
- Are there any specific sectors that show more distressed and restructuring opportunities than others, and has there been more cross-border activity?
- How are managers preparing themselves to mitigate downside impacts and manage liabilities?
- Are distressed fund managers optimistic about the year ahead, and how is the deal pipeline shaping up?
