Overview

Bingham and Macquarie Group commissioned Debtwire to interview 100 distressed debt investors, including hedge fund managers, sell-side trading desks and other asset managers on their expectations for the North American distressed debt market in 2012.

The resulting report provides an in-depth review of emerging trends in the distressed debt markets and show that investors are only cautiously optimistic for 2012 despite the recent increase in restructuring headlines and market volatility.

In addition, the survey outlines 2012 as a "wait-and-see" period for investors to re-assess risk appetite in a vastly different global environment that is being shaped by a constantly changing political landscape, regulatory changes and economic instability.
