Description

On the latest episode of Bloomberg Intelligence’s State of Distressed podcast, Andrew Axelrod, founder & CEO of Axar Capital, shares how focused distressed debt buyers such as Axar Capital are often the best bid for middle-market troubled loans as they stand ready to commit capital and sweat equity to the turnaround. In his conversation with BI’s Chief US Credit Strategist Noel Hebert and Senior Credit Analyst Phil Brendel (5:55 ), Axelrod touches on Axar’s “loan-to-own” strategy, what he looks for in management teams, and the importance of “sticking to the process.” The podcast concludes with Negisa Balluku joining Noel and Phil for a roundtable discussion on At Home, Claire’s, CommScope, LifeScan, the SCOTUS pitch in Serta, and Ardagh Group (1:04:33 ).
