Milken Institute 2013 Global Conference - Alternative Investments Panel Featuring Wilbur Ross
by Canadian Value - May 01, 2013
Here is the agenda for this panel from the Milken Conference that features distressed asset investing guru Wilbur Ross:

The world of alternative investments is becoming increasingly complex, stratified and varied as investors seek protection against market swings. What are the emerging alternatives for hard-to-value assets? Will there be a continued exit from private equity toward index products, structured credit and commodities, which might have the advantage of greater liquidity? As demand rises for offbeat assets, will returns continue to decline? How long will quantitative easing fuel growth in REITs? Will shifts in the carry trade distort alternative investment markets and returns? Should diversification be based on the subsets of the asset class or the strategies of intermediaries that manage them in hedge funds, ETFs and index funds? This panel will explore the outlook for alternative investments in a prolonged low-interest-rate environment.[b] Continue Reading »

Wilbur Ross - Funding Permanent Deficits with Short Term Funding Will Not Have a Happy Ending
by CanadianValue - Feb 20, 2013
Business Outlook interviews the distressed investing guru Wilbur Ross:

Sitting in his 25th floor office with a sweeping view of the Manhattan skyline, billionaire Wilbur Ross is the master of all he surveys, but he does not like what he is seeing. Ross’ composure is legendary, but this time irritation comes to the fore as he opines on the current state of affairs in the US. The King of Bankruptcy is not only frustrated by the regulatory overkill under the Obama administration, he is also worried that the US could lose its educational edge over the years. With visible agitation, he mentions, “The regulatory agencies are out of control and that is a huge problem for the economy.” Outside, his assistants’ phones ring incessantly, indicating that Ross continues to be a much sought-after financier and the distress hunter in him is very much on the prowl. Only, this time his sights are set far outside the United States. Financial services and energy continue to be his favourite hunting grounds and this quest has taken him across the Atlantic to the UK and Ireland and as far as China. Among his existing US investments, he is gung-ho on shale gas and believes a lower cost of energy will play an important role in reviving the US economy. Continue Reading »

Wilbur Ross Tells Fox Business Network That the 'Exploitation of Shale Gas' Is the Best Way to Overcome the Recent Negative GDP Numbers
by Holly LaFon - Jan 31, 2013
Billionaire investor Wilbur Ross spoke with FOX Business Network (FBN) about economic growth opportunities for the United States through the production of shale gas. Ross stated that “the best way to overcome the negative gross domestic product” would be “to encourage the exploitation of shale gas both for domestic and for international purposes.” In addition, Ross discussed the investment losses of the Trouble Asset Relief Program (TARP), saying “it was never set up to be on a commercially normal basis” and “was fated not to be structured in a way that you could make a profit.” Excerpts from the interview are below:
