Founder George Schultze said the best opportunities in the distressed investing space during 2021 are likely to be in post-reorganisation equities, which offer event-driven return catalysts such as spinoffs, M&A, special dividends, and stock buybacks.
“Post-distress equities are those stocks that formerly went through a reorganizasion and/or recapitalsation as a result of their prior distress – this phase represents the ‘late stage’ bucket of investing in distressed deals,” Schultze told Hedgeweek.
“These catalysts will help drive the values for select post-reorganisation names up closer to fair value.”
