Distressed debt as an individual investor
Incoming RX intern here curious if it’s feasible to invest in distressed debt as an individual investor. To me, the major barriers are the information disadvantage and lack of ability to purchase certain securities (I’ve found certain corporate bonds aren’t available except through a broker. Obviously not being able to buy certain securities is unfortunate, but my major concern is dealing with such a disadvantage that positive returns are impossible. I think it’d be valuable to invest in a distressed debt position ahead of next summer as the due diligence process would definitely give me a lot of insight into reorganization, so I’d be curious to hear if anyone has done this successfully.
too many barriers to be worth it
You wouldn't be able to.
Additionally, even if you could. You definitely wouldn’t be making returns (your biggest worry) because you know nothing about the process.
.
That’s helpful. I’ve kind of looked at what you described as well. Can I PM?
Don't say this to anyone with a straight face or you won't get a return offer
