Milken Institute: Evaluating Credit Market Dislocations
2023-05-01 11:30 - 12:30 (America/New_York)
Credit markets have been steadily expanding through the last decade as part of a global hunt for yield. At the same time, banks—having learned the lessons of the global financial crisis—have invested in conservative residential mortgages and 30-year government bonds. Both strategies are showing significant cracks, though, after a year of the Fed’s most aggressive monetary tightening in decades has caused those securities to fall in value. Credit markets have never been more dubious for investors in the face of the ripple effects of rising interest rates. What is the credit outlook for the short and medium term, and where are we in the longer-term credit cycle? Can we find a new normal in a higher interest rate environment, and if so, what will be the right set of investment strategies for savvy investors? What will be the broader macroeconomic implications of this, and how can investors position themselves for both the best and the worst possible worlds?

Xander Snyder, senior commercial real estate economist at First American Financial Corporation, will be providing his valuable input on the above questions and more. His research focuses on economic trends impacting commercial real estate, such as demographics, fundraising, investments and commercial lending. He also monitors, analyzes and reports on economic data and surveys related to commercial real estate, and develops models and forecasts to better understand the forces that influence commercial real estate markets.

Federalist Society: Courthouse Steps: Purdue Pharma with Prof. Anthony J. Casey and Clifford J. White III
2023-09-06 15:30 (America/New_York)
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear Harrington v. Purdue Pharma in December 2023. The case presents the issue of the authority of a court to provide a release from liability against non-consenting victims in favor of third parties who are not in bankruptcy.
This case involves releases in favor of the non-debtor Sackler family who owned Purdue Pharma and are accused of fueling the national opioid epidemic. Some say the bankruptcy system provides a more effective and efficient mechanism for resolving mass torts. Others say it is a vast expansion of court power without statutory or Constitutional authority.
Please join us as Professor Anthony Casey and Clifford White debate the merits of the case and discuss what to expect at the Supreme Court.
