Similarities between Leveraged Finance and Restructuring?
What are the similarities between Leveraged Finance and Restructuring? I've noticed that many RX groups are housed under the LevFin group at BBs - with this I'm inferring that both divisions share similar skillsets? However I just can't see how understanding of HY Debt has anything to do with RX ....
LIBOR Curve
Its been a while since I've had to use Bloomberg to look up the LIBOR curve for modeling purposes. Usually was able to get it from our DCM desk, plus LIBOR wasn't expected to be higher than the floors we set. In a totally different situation/market now. Can someone tell me what function they use and...
Will I need an MBA to achieve my goal?
I am interested in leveraged finance loans syndication. I went to a non-target state school and started off in Big 4 audit which was awful. After a year, I looked at jobs in loan syndication because it was an area I audited and liked. I didn't really apply to any BB since I figured it was a waste of...
LevFin at SocGen
Anyone know how the leveraged finance group at Societe Generale is (NYC)? I know that LevFin's role varies from bank to bank so I am interested in what they do; is it more a DCM function or are they focused on execution and analysis? Thanks
Leveraged Finance - Most Important Questions
I've searched WSO and M&I to the bone and I have some questions I could not find the answers to. I am wondering if those in-the-know or have previously worked in LevFin could chip in, for prospective monkeys like me. 1.) I'm still not sure on this - is leveraged finance more corporate finance based...
MM Leveraged Lender to BB LevFin?
Currently an incoming analyst at a MM lender (think GE Capital, CIT, NXT, etc...) and was wondering how common it is to lateral to LevFin group at a BB ? Focused more on the modeling/origination rather than the cap. markets side. Any insights are appreciated! Thanks.
Leveraged Finance Groups' Hours Across Street
Lev Fin seems to be one of the more variable groups I've heard in terms of average days. Specifically speaking, how do hours compare between BBs vs. Elites vs. Boutiques? Obviously the days are much slower than a DCM group but nature of the companies you advise could cause you to be in the office...
Unique Situation as a 1st Year IB Analyst
Hey, I'm in a unique situation, and I'm looking for advice on what I should do. I'm currently a first year analyst in LevFin , and the group is closing a ton of deals, but I'm not learning any modeling. We don't have enough people for all of the deals coming through, so it gets pushed to the...
BNP Loan Syndication (within Structured Finance)
Any thoughts on this group? I have found much info on WSO (older threads mostly on WF) and internet in general, but I understand that this group varies from bank to bank. Anyone with more specific information? What about exit opps? Modelling? Transferable skills? (this is for a summer analyst role...
Why does Leverage Finance fall under Commercial Banking?
I heard companies such as WF have their LevFin groups under commercial banking, why is this? If it falls under commercial banking, does it mean its not as good as other LevFin groups? I was just surprised to hear that its categorized like that.
Detailed information for Lev Fin IB group?
I am an incoming first year analyst in IB and am trying to get into the Lev Fin group when I start (I will start as a generalist) - I am not a finance major so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for preparing for this group (i.e. leveraged finance books, websites, classes to take next...
Leveraged Finance - Associate Level Exit Options
I understand that leveraged finance is a strong group for analysts to begin their careers if they are targeting private equity exits. However, I am interested in whether the same holds true for post-MBA grads who enter into leveraged finance at the associate level. Are there some common exit options...

Hey everyone, Just wondering what the general view is on restructuring at one of the top 3 vs Levin at a BB?

Commercial lending & levfin/DCM deals
I'm interviewing with a management associate program for a commercial bank in HK in a few days. Not IB but from what it seems like associates get some exposure to club deals, leveraged finance deals, bond issuances, etc. I'm curious as to what role commercial bankers play in the deal process for the...

Leveraged Finance => Private Equity
Hi Everyone, I'm not too familiar with this product group within banks, but how would it stack up in terms of exit opps vs. other product and coverage groups at banks (M&A, Fin. Sponsors, TMT , etc.)? If the group covers various aspects of capital structure along with lbo model analysis, is PE...

Bank of America Kills it in Leveraged Finance Q1-Q3

Investing Vs Underwriting in DCM/LevFin/Commercial Banking
Bankers, If someone works at a Debt Capital Markets Group (at Credit Suisse or Morgan Stanley or DB ) as an Associate and helps raise debt capital for a client then is he underwriting debt ? (My guess is yes) If someone works in Golub Capital and makes a Term Loan B investment of say $5mm in a...

DCM at 2nd tier to LevFin at a BB: Steps to take
I'm starting in DCM at a pretty senior (though not BB) European bank (based in London) this summer.

Leveraged Finance vs. Real Estate coverage?
Would be entering as an Associate, both the Lev Fin group and Real Estate are Top 5 in league tables. PE down the road is definitely an interest, but not necessarily the main goal. Real estate is an interest, but not necessarily sold on a career in real estate either. Otherwise, pretty indifferent...
