Four research verticals
Our training and research are organized around four areas of credit.
Restructuring
Advising companies and creditors through balance-sheet stress, from Chapter 11 filings to out-of-court liability management.
Distressed Credit
Investing in stressed and defaulted securities, where returns depend on legal and structural analysis.
Performing Credit
Underwriting healthy borrowers across leveraged loans, high yield, and private credit.
Special Situations
Investing around corporate events and dislocations: spin-offs, mergers, and stressed equities that fit nowhere else.
Where UCG members have worked
UCG alumni have placed especially well at credit funds, restructuring advisory firms, and public and private investing platforms.
