Radioactive Distressed Debt

 

  Distressed debt investors should not fret about the lack of attractive investing ideas. In the next five years (2020-2025), there is $600 billion dollars in debt maturities coming due, $150 billion of which is Ca1 or below. Many of these issues are trading below par and will not be able to refinance. Large companies should be okay while mid- caps and smaller companies will lack access to easy capital. Many of these high yield securities will become "radioactive" for investors. Higher interest rates, inflation and slow growth will bring many of these companies to the bone yard.

Performance Measurement For Distressed Debt Investors

 

 Distressed Debt Research at Performance Plus Advisors, Inc.

Professional money managers and hedge funds compare their returns to a benchmark or a index of securities comparable to their funds investing style or asset classes. The index that our Model Portfolio uses as a benchmark is the HFRX Distressed Securities Index, which is provided by:

www. hedgefundresearch.com.

Our Model Portfolio is focused on distressed debt securities, primarily on securities at significant discounts to their value at issuance or at maturity. Most of the securities in our Model Portfolio are either in Chapter 11 proceedings or the perception is that they will be. We expect our Model's returns to be significantly higher than our benchmark because of our proprietary research and trading experience.

Attached is our research performance. We have an enviable research record which spans a decade. Our research is concise and relevant and provides a framework that enables our clients to organize and filter other research and information.
