Distressed investment specialist Schultze Asset Management eyes ‘late stage’ catalyst trades Submitted By Hugh Leask | 11/01/2021 - 3:57pm Schultze Asset Management, a distressed investing specialist which targets a range of restructuring situations on a long and short basis, is forecasting a slew of investment catalysts in this area as the global economy gradually recovers from the coronavirus pandemic. Founder George Schultze said the best opportunities in the distressed investing space during 2021 are likely to be in post-reorganisation equities, which offer event-driven return catalysts such as spinoffs, M&A, special dividends, and stock buybacks. “Post-distress equities are those stocks that formerly went through a reorganizasion and/or recapitalsation as a result of their prior distress – this phase represents the ‘late stage’ bucket of investing in distressed deals,” Schultze told Hedgeweek.
