Opportunity in the distressed debt market - Ernst & Young - United States

Opportunity in the distressed debt market

The economic downturn has opened up new opportunities and strategies for troubled companies and savvy investors. Private equity groups, distressed debt funds, hedge funds and other investors have raised tens of billions of dollars over the past year in anticipation of severe price discounting on the debt of troubled companies. At the same time, estimates are showing that some companies are carrying $60b plus in nonperforming assets, and the number grows every day — a sure sign that executives will need help managing their mounting distressed loan problems.

While the sale of distressed debt presents both opportunities and challenges, it is critical to understand the complexities of the market. Gain insights from our international perspective and local capabilities and you’ll discover that we do. Whether you are looking to change your business focus, free up resources or improve your position in the market, we can help you stay one step ahead of this complex, specialized asset class.
