Distressed loans / debt primer?
Any primers on distressed loan and debt investing? I’ve already read Moyer and the HL primer doc.
Any others much appreciated.

moyer is great, but it's outdated.
if you want to understand the actual mechanics of loans, you need to understand the contract.
the technicals: read "the lsta's complete credit agreement guide". distressed loan investing is an arbitrage of contractual loopholes. if you can't spot a trap door in a "restricted payment" covenant, you can't invest.
the reality: stop reading textbooks. go to a restructuring administration site (like kroll or stretto). pull the "first day declaration" (usually the declaration of the CFO/CRO) of a recent bankruptcy.
it is a 50-page summary where the cfo explains exactly why the company died, how the capital structure failed, and who gets paid what.
that is real time education
Sharing a broader library from the legal side. Given the interest surrounding covenants for LMEs, will also add some high-yield and credit guides. All are publicly available, except the LSTA and the STB's Credit Commentary.

If there is enough interest will also add some academic papers on bankruptcy law.
Post the academic papers pls. I’m getting a hard on over here.
I gotta say… I’m as flaccid as a worm in a jar of melatonin… but I’m still holding out hope for those papers! 🤞
Thank you for posting all of this info though. True gold mine.
