Asia Private Equity Forum 2009

Date: 15 September 2009

Venue: Four Seasons Hotel, Hong Kong
The market turmoil has left no industry untouched. Private equity has changed hugely from last year, with funds now trying to make a profit in a distressed climate. Gone are leveraged buyouts, auctions and big-ticket exits; funds are instead restructuring, looking for bargains and preparing to deal with new regulation.
IFLR's Asia Private Equity Form 2009 is the only event that brings together the most recognised in-house and private practice figures for one day to consider tactics to deal with failing investments, opportunities to make money, and where to find new pools of capital.
The forum is designed to look at how private equity houses can make money and minimise loss, despite the chaos of a recession. While downturns stress investments, they also create great opportunities for bargains. If you intend to succeed in 2010's private equity market, this is your must-attend conference of the year.
Hot topics to be discussed include:
  • How to avoid disaster when investments go bad
  • All you need to know to successfully restructure your pre-IPO financing
  • Where are the opportunities? Which assets to buy at what price?
  • Risky purchases: mitigating the risk of litigation and identifying fraud
  • Negotiating insider dealing and disclosure issues in Pipes and take-privates
  • Case study: a practical guide to doing a take-private
  • New pools of capital and where to find them
  • The future of leveraged buyouts – how and when will they return?
  • How the regulatory landscape will change and what you need to do about it
