CORPORATE DISTRESS, CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS, AND DEFAULTS: INFORMATION AND TRADITIONAL, CONTINGENT, AND EMPTY CREDITORS* Henry T. C. Hu ** ABSTRACT Federal securities law seeks to ensure the quality and quantity of information that corporations make publicly available. Informational asymmetries associated with companies in financial distress, but not in bankruptcy, have received little attention. This Article explores some important asymmetries in this context that are curious in their origin, nature, and impact. The asymmetries are especially curious because of the impact of a world with credit default swaps (CDS) and CDS-driven debt “decoupling.” The Article explores two categories of asymmetries. The first relates to information on the company itself. Here, the Article suggests there is fresh evidence for the belief that troubled companies may prove lax in securities law compliance and for the existing “final period” explanation for such laxity.

    Seeking an Alternative

    Seeking an Alternative Understanding and Allocating to Alternative Investments Alts Lab Seeking an Alternative: Understanding and Allocating to Alternative Investments 3 Seeking an Alternative Understanding and Allocating to Alternative Investments Summary In this paper we look at some of the forces that may be inclining individual investors to incorporate “alternative” investments in their portfolio, and then offer some general allocation suggestions on how they may do so. We think there are several compelling reasons why investors are considering “alts.” While the century is young we’ve already had two severe market declines, and two long, painful recoveries. The result is a world with lower growth, a good deal of uncertainty, and the feeling that traditional investment options alone may not suffice. We believe some investors are seeking alternative investments to find yield, some for higher returns, or protection from rising rates, or a haven against market volatility—or any combination of the above. Unfortunately there’s no standard approach or “style box” to guide investors on how to reach their goals with alternative investments. We offer up a framework to address this gap.
