LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Strategic Research Institute presents the 8th Annual West Distressed Debt Investing Forum, November 16 to 17, 2006 at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas. The facts are clear: distressed managers control a significant percentage of this country's steel production, movie theatres, textile mills, casinos, airlines and automotive suppliers; nearly 10% of hedge funds are now at least partially dedicated to distressed debt; and limited partners' allocations to distressed debt investments are on the rise. Distressed debt continues to move from the realm of alternatives to the mainstream.

In order to address this trend, Strategic Research Institute has brought together a distinguished series of speakers who will address the top issues affecting the Distressed Debt market. Please join us November 16th and 17th in Las Vegas for the 8th Annual West Distressed Debt Investing Forum, part of the longest running and largest series of distressed investing conferences in the United States.

Outstanding speaking faculty includes leading investors, hedge funds, private equity funds, advisors and academics including: Dr. Edward I. Altman, Max L. Heine Professor of Finance, STERN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, NYU; Kevin Griffin, Managing Director, FORTRESS INVESTMENT GROUP; Raymond A. Whiteman, Co-Head, Distressed Investing, THE CARLYLE GROUP; Kevin Cross, Managing Director, CERBERUS; Thomas J. Libassi, Senior Managing Director, GSC PARTNERS and many more.
