Magnetar Capital is scouring a $600 billion pile of troubled corporate bonds and loans for value as much of the debt comes due. “Yesterday’s buyout boom is today’s credit opportunity,” Austin Camporin, head of special situations at the $17 billion alternative asset manager, tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Negisa Balluku in the latest Credit Edge podcast. “It’s those small firms that incurred debt in the zero interest rate environment, primarily in the broadly syndicated loan market, that are obviously having a harder time,” Camporin says. They also discuss private credit risk and investment opportunities in software, healthcare services, building materials and packaging.
