This course provides turnaround, restructuring, and distressed investing skills that will expose you to, and prepare you for, careers in the industry. The focus is primarily on corporate reorganizations ranging from small/mid-size businesses to large corporations, including real estate and municipal turnarounds. Topics will include the identification of distressed opportunities; distressed research analysis; and the sourcing of distressed opportunities in the US, Europe, Latin America and Asia. We will also discuss workout strategies; the fundamentals of bankruptcy and the bankruptcy-reorganization process; and career opportunities in the distressed investment business.
