Milken Institute

What does it mean to flourish? This year, the Milken Institute Global Conference will convene global voices to answer this question. Because flourishing isn’t just about financial progress—it’s about purpose, connection, and opportunity for all. In today’s complex world, we face escalating geopolitical tensions, an intensifying climate crisis, economic inequality, public health challenges, and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence. These forces are reshaping industries, governance, and the global workforce. The 28th annual Global Conference will unite our diverse, forward-thinking community to tackle these critical issues and explore solutions that pave the way for a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient future. Join us to reflect on recent disruptions and innovations, and translate insights into meaningful actions to create healthy, prosperous lives for all.

Marblegate’s CIO and Managing Partner Andrew Milgram recently contributed to the Milken Institute’s #PowerofIdeas series, which explores crucial topics like rapidly evolving technology and trends shaping the global economy.   Andrew cuts to the heart of today’s economic problems in the current U.S. corporate landscape, marked by record-high levels of troubled loans and bankruptcy filings, which point to a powerful undercurrent of disruption and distress.   The challenges companies are facing require more than simply rearranging debt. At Marblegate, we believe the principal path forward is through comprehensive financial and operational restructuring. As turnaround-oriented investors, we are seeing an exceptional opportunity to reset capital structures and position companies for future growth as we move further into a potentially protracted period of change and disruption.   Read the full piece at the link below and please join us at the Milken Global Conference May 4th through 7th to discuss this opportunity and broader topics facing investors, allocators and businesses. #MIGlobal #investing #restructuring #credit #economics https://lnkd.in/eQzFdzDQ
