Distressed investing refers to the practice of purchasing assets that are in financial distress, such as companies or properties that are in default or foreclosure. The goal of distressed assets investing is to purchase these assets at a discounted price and then turn them around by restructuring, repositioning, or selling them for a profit.
There are several types of distressed assets, including real estate, mortgages, bonds, and company stocks. Real estate investors may purchase distressed properties at a discount, such as foreclosed homes or commercial properties in default, with the goal of renovating and reselling them at a higher price. Bond investors may purchase distressed bonds, which are bonds that have defaulted or are in danger of defaulting, with the goal of receiving a higher return on their investment than they would from a non-distressed bond. Similarly, stock investors may purchase distressed stocks, which are stocks of companies that are in financial distress or bankrupt, with the goal of turning around the company’s fortunes and selling the stock at a higher price.
Distressed investing is considered a high-risk, high-reward strategy and it is typically only suitable for experienced investors with a high tolerance for risk. Due to the complexity and uncertainty of distressed assets, investors need to conduct a thorough analysis of the assets and their underlying businesses, including a detailed examination of their financial statements and cash flow analysis.
