Chrisanne Corbett, Head of KPMG Corporate Finance's Private Equity Coverage Team, participates in panel discussion at ACG Intergrowth 2009

May 12-14, 2009

Chrisanne Corbett, managing director with KPMG Corporate Finance LLC's Private Equity Coverage Team, will participate in an informative panel discussion entitled, "2009: The End of Private Equity As We Know It?," on May 12, 2009 at the ACG Intergrowth Conference.  

The private equity industry ascended to great heights in the run up to the credit collapse of 2007 and has been battered without mercy ever since. LPs are making redemption calls, leverage remains stubbornly expensive and the evaporation of exit strategies have all made long-term owners out of short-term players. This panel gathers several of the private equity world’s most accomplished players for an in-depth discussion of the current and impending challenges and opportunities facing the industry and a look at the future.
