February 23, 2010
DURHAM, N.C. — Leading Wall Street figures will discuss the state of lending, credit and leverage at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27, at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business.
The forum, which is free and open to the public, is the second in a series of events examining the future of capitalism, and is sponsored by Fuqua, Duke's Center for Financial Excellence and McKinsey & Company.
Confirmed panelists include:
- Alan D. Schwartz, executive chairman, Guggenheim Partners, LLC;
- David M. Rubenstein, co-founder and managing director, The Carlyle Group;
- Bruce A. Karsh, president and co-founder, Oaktree Capital Management, LLC;
- Seth E. Gardner, executive director, Center for Financial Excellence, The Fuqua School of Business, and former managing director, Cerberus Capital Management, L.P.;
- Brian G. Cartwright, senior adviser, Latham & Watkins LLP, and former general counsel, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission;
- Toos N. Daruvala, Americas Banking and Securities Practice Leader, McKinsey & Company.
The forum will be moderated by McKinsey & Company's Anthony M. Santomero, former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. Douglas T. Breeden, William W. Priest Professor of Finance at Fuqua, will deliver the forum's introductory address.
"Credit permeates all aspects of economic activity, and as we've seen all too clearly in the past two years, disruptions to the credit system can have profound and devastating economic consequences," said Fuqua Dean Blair Sheppard. "This forum is the type of conversation we must continue to foster in order to bring about real and sustainable improvements in the global economy."
