Debt Literature

Any credit / debt focussed materials which focus more on bank debt, private debt etc?

Most recommendations (Fabozzi etc.) seem very focused on Bonds etc. 

Looking to understand debt in terms of covenants, waterfalls, securitisation / priority claims, subordination / seniority etc. Would be helpful if these can be in context of debt raised for LBOs or investment grade raised by larger / listed companies. Thanks!

EDIT: Have got Moyer, Whitman etc. Less interested in Distressed stuff, request above is for more vanilla / normal circumstances.

Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs

"Pragmatist's Guide to Leveraged Finance, A: Credit Analysis for Bonds and Bank Debt" covers the vanilla LevFin markets. It's not too long but covers all the basics in a concise and practical way

Yes, i liked this book too. There is a new edition that came out this year.

 

Creating online course in the space. Idea is Course Exercises, analysis = full time analyst job responsibilities. So FT’s resume says “Leveraged Finance Analyst” with bullets. And instead of “Analyst”, yours says “Course”. Bonus section on direct lending & sustainability-linked loans. Also if you’re in a rush w/ interview the next day - there will be 30-Minute Lev Fin Crash Course. Open to beta testers / piecemeal feedback. Stay tuned
