The Distressed Debt Investor : A Practical Career and Implementation Guide to Special Situations, Restructuring, and Investing Across the Capital Struc
Overview
The bonds trade at 40 cents. Bargain or trap?
Distressed debt investing means buying the debt of troubled companies to profit from a restructuring, turnaround, or liquidation. Done well, it offers debt-level downside with equity-like upside. Done poorly, it is a fast way to lose money in illiquid, litigious situations. The difference comes down to one question: where in the capital structure does value break?
The Distressed Debt Investor is the field guide for professionals who do this work and the newcomers who want to - analysts and PMs at distressed and credit funds, restructuring advisers, workout desks, and students targeting these seats.
Across four parts, you will learn how to:
- Read a capital structure - priority, security, and structural subordination
- Find the fulcrum security that converts into the reorganized equity
- Tell a liquidity problem from a solvency crisis
- Value a troubled business to a conservative downside and find the liquidation floor
- Analyze covenants, intercreditor terms, and transfer and priming risk
- Navigate out-of-court and in-court restructurings and model recoveries
- Negotiate in a creditor group and run a loan-to-own play
- Break in and build a distressed and special-situations career
This is not a book of shortcuts. Distressed investing is high-risk and unforgiving of sloppy work; every framework here is built around downside first, illustrated with clear, hypothetical worked examples.
Invest in distress with discipline instead of hope. Start here.
