As we announced in last week’s FFF, Bill Ackman, the CEO and Portfolio Manager of Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P., will give the keynote address at this year’s Finance Forum. Ackman is also the Chairman and CEO of Pershing Square Tontine Holdings, Ltd., a newly organized SPAC that raised $4 billion in its initial public offering in July, making it the largest SPAC IPO in history. The Finance Forum takes place virtually on the afternoon of November 12th.
Ackman will join Cadwalader partner Stephen Fraidin for a discussion covering the current state of the financial markets, implications of the presidential election, the resurgence of SPACs in 2020, and more.
This year's Finance Forum will also once again feature live panel sessions with leaders in the U.S., UK, and Europe discussing commercial real estate, fund finance, middle market lending, distressed finance and securitization.
Two panels of particular interest to FFF readers include:
“NAVigating Alternative Liquidity Solutions.” This panel will be moderated by Cadwalader partner Samantha Hutchinson and will feature Cadwalader partner Brian Foster; Richard Golaszewski, Investment Director, 17 Capital; Matthew Houlden, Associate, Private Capital Advisory, Lazard; James Rock-Perring, Head of Fund Finance Advisory, Intertrust Group; and Ian Wiese, Head of Secondaries, Fund Solutions, Investec.
“Fund Finance by the Numbers: Looking at the Data Pre- vs. Post-COVID.” This panel will be moderated by Cadwalader partner Wes Misson and will feature Cadwalader partner Tim Hicks.
More than 1,000 industry leaders are already registered for the event.
