Once in a Generation Opportunity?
According to the WSJ, the number of distressed debt deals –
in which creditors use their debt holdings to seize ownership
control of failing companies – has increased by almost
40% so far this year. The number of completed distressed deals
has grown to 140 through 3rd Q 2009; compared to 102 for all
of 2008. According to Dealogic, deal value this year has reached
$84.4 billion – more than quadruple last year's total
of $20 billion. And according to Forbes Magazine’s list
of 400 Richest Americans, the biggest gainer in 2009 was an
opportunity investor who tripled his net worth by buying distressed
loans and assets.

While
the market is clamoring for capital, bank lenders have remained
largely on the sidelines; reluctant to commit capital while
impaired assets remain on their balance sheets. The result:
(1) Private equity sponsors are looking for alternatives to
sustain and grow their portfolio companies; and (2) Hedge Funds
and other sources of non-bank capital are filling the gap and
seizing market opportunities.
Consider this small sample of Opportunity Funds created in 2009:
-
Cargill
entity Carval Investors is to begin efforts to raise $2 billion
for a distressed vehicle called CACI Credit Value Fund
-
Oak Hill Advisors closed a $1.125 billion
credit distressed fund
-
Alvarez & Marsal has started a distressed
debt private equity fund
-
China Investment Corp commits $2 billion
to Oaktree distressed debt fund, a Goldman distressed fund,
and a third un-named fund
-
Citadel Investment Group distressed loan
junk bond fund set for October
-
Sankaty Advisors raising $400 million for
DIP fund
-
Cerberus
Capital Management is looking to raise money for
a fund that would invest in distressed debt, in hopes of boosting
returns for investors
-
A new fund run by GLG Partners will invest
in distressed debt issued by companies in the U.K. and Europe
