Financial innovation, new laws and regulations, and the financial meltdown of 20072008 are just a few of the forces that have shaped, and continue to shape, today’s distress investment environment. Combine this with the fact that the discipline of distress investing doesn’t always follow what conventional wisdom says, and you can see why it is one of the most challenging areas in finance.
Nobody understands this better than Martin Whitmanthe legendary founder of Third Avenue Management LLC and a pioneer in the field of distressed marketsand leading academic Dr. Fernando Diz of Syracuse University. That’s why they decided to write Distress Investing. As an outgrowth of annual distress and value investing seminars the two have taught together at Syracuse University’s Martin J. Whitman School of Management, this reliable resource will help you gain a better understanding of the essential principles and techniques associated with distress investing and show you how to effectively apply them in the real world.
