The ongoing financial crisis continues to affect the supply/demand imbalance of credit. This continuing contraction has created a refinancing void that will be difficult to be filled by conventional institutions or market mechanisms, including government programs, the regulated banking system or the shadow banking system. Dean has unique insight into these markets based on his experience in credit markets as well as his position as Global co CIO for Fortress Investment Group’s credit funds.

Dean Dakolias is the Global Co-Chief Investment Officer of the Fortress Credit Funds which focus on opportunistic lending situations and securities, as well as distressed or undervalued assets.  Fortress Investment Group is an SEC regulated investment management firm specialising in alternative investments.
