Fixed Income, Credit and Distressed Case Study

Client Background – Our client, an alternative asset management firm investing mainly in North American and European high-yield credit securities, wanted to improve its investment methods and review a broader range of investment opportunities. Since it briefed Copal in 2006, we have committed a team of 25 investment analysts to service the client’s objectives.

Services offered – Copal provided services for use in analyzing investment opportunities and evaluating associated risks. The team’s full scale support includes distressed securities analysis, recovery valuation and covenant monitoring, stress testing and analysis, value at risk modeling, debt covenant analysis, cash flow modeling, secondary research on macroeconomic variables, risk metrics creation and monitoring, and internal research summaries.

Results – The addition of a dedicated Copal team has enabled the company to better utilize its internal resources and review a broader range of investment opportunities. It has also allowed our client to better analyze a variable quantity of opportunities without any significant additions to its internal personnel. Furthermore, Copal’s cost effective expertise has supported more extensive and detailed analysis, helping the client improve its investment decisions.
