Credit hedge fund case study

Folks,

Have a case study coming up with a SS credit hedge fund - can anyone share their experience on this? Any info on what to expect, how this is different from a lev fin case study, any recommended preparation materials, etc would be great.

Also, when speaking about lev fin most people assume you syndicate debt out - why is this the case? It seems like a few Bankers I've met have been at banks where they hold their credit positions to maturity.

Thanks all.
