Preparing for a changing credit cycle
Why higher rates may eventually lead to increased distressed investment opportunities.
- Dispersion among U.S. high-yield bond issuers has risen along with interest rates.
- Historically, when dispersion has risen, distress in the high-yield market also has tended to rise, offering investors opportunities to take advantage of credit dislocations.
- Transition in the high-yield market has been orderly so far, largely a function of still sound corporate finances.
- Yet as refinancing needs increase in 2024 and beyond, so too may the challenges of adjusting to higher interest rates.
