Opal Financial Group's Eighth Annual CDO Summit is an educational forum designed for investors, issuers, underwriters, credit enhancers, rating agencies, lawyers and accountants. Set to take place December 2008, participants will learn the newest techniques to maximize returns and reduce risk exposure in this growing area of Asset-Backed Finance. An in-depth review of recent regulatory changes, in addition to rating agency methodology, legal, tax and structural considerations will provide attendees with the tools necessary to stay one step ahead of their competitors.

This three-day conference will serve as an opportunity where a meaningful dialogue can be opened to address concerns regarding this dynamic segment of the market. Scheduled to run concurrently with the Tenth Annual Alternative Investing Summit, this event promises to be the "must attend" CDO event of 2008.
