The Credit Investor's Handbook: Leveraged Loans, High Yield Bonds, and Distressed Debt

The leveraged credit market is currently valued at over $4 trillion and is one of the fastest-growing asset classes, fueling demand for well-trained credit analysts. This comprehensive manual teaches the skills to succeed in the dynamic and complex credit markets. Michael Gatto brings complex case studies to life using decades of his firsthand stories and combines them with reflections from leading industry professionals.

Michael's seven-step credit analysis process will prepare you for a career in credit investing at the top buy-side and sell-side firms on Wall Street by teaching you the technical skills needed to invest in the debt markets. Whether you are analyzing a loan origination in the private debt market, a new issue of a broadly syndicated loan (BSL), a high-yield bond (HY), or a secondary trade, the comprehensive knowledge gained from this book will equip you to make well-founded investment recommendations. Additionally, an entire section devoted to distressed debt investing incorporates a practitioner's perspective on the nuances of bankruptcy and restructurings to develop strategies to profit from opportunities in this opaque market. Michael explains strategies pursued by distressed companies that have led to creditor-on-creditor violence, giving you an insider's perspective on some of the least understood transactions in the distressed arena.
