It looks like there will be no shortage of distress in 2023 –at least in terms of assets. Distressed debt issuance in the U.S. alone has increased by more than 300% over the past 12 months, and activity levels among distressed assets are soaring abroad as well. Dominique Mielle, a former hedge fund portfolio manager and author of “Damsel in Distressed” and Marc Schneider, founder of financial advisory, consulting and investment management firm Twelve Lions Capital will discuss the distressed cycle, the sector’s lack of diversity and potential opportunities for investors in distressed investments in the year ahead.
