Corporate Distressed Investment Survey

Distressed investment managers will most likely have an attractive multi-year opportunity set in which to invest as a result of the macroeconomic slowdown and global deleveraging process that has accelerated since the Spring of 2008. Many market participants have moved away from a multi-year period of embracing increasing levels of risk to a more cautious approach. With increasing levels of defaults expected over the next few years due to deteriorating fundamentals, over-leveraged balance sheets and debt maturity schedules, a supply-demand imbalance of capital is likely to continue for a significant period creating market inefficiencies which can be exploited by focused and experienced investment teams.
