A typical distressed security investment strategy would involve purchasing:

A)
the debt of a distressed company, allowing the company to utilize the infusion of capital to avoid bankruptcy.
B)
a controlling equity position in a company experiencing financial difficulties and replacing management with a team of turnaround specialists.
C)
the debt of a struggling company, with the goal of ending up with an equity position in the reorganized company.


A typical strategy is to invest in the debt of a company, continue to hold the position throughout the bankruptcy negotiations, and ultimately end up with equity in the new, revitalized operation.

Investing in distressed securities is most similar to investing in which of the following asset classes?

A)
Exchange-traded funds.
B)
Venture capital.

The securities of companies that are either close to bankruptcy or have already filed for bankruptcy protection are called:

A)
inactively traded securities.
B)
discount securities.
C)
distressed securities.


Inactively traded securities are infrequently traded, but the name “inactively traded” does not imply anything about the financial condition of the company. “Discount” is a description that may be applied to any of number of investment vehicles available. Distressed securities are the securities of companies in the midst of financial difficulties.
