Credit Investment Thesis

I have a credit summer analyst interview coming up soon and was wondering if anyone can share old or sample theses on debt/distressed/credit investments.

There's obviously a lot I can find on equity online but can't seem to be able to find any on credit.

Would be incredibly helpful for my preparation process!

Hey Prospect in IB-M&A, what a lonely thread. I'm here since nobody responded ...so maybe one of these discussions will help:

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
