Description

As the credit cycle was heading into its 11th year before the pandemic upended the economy, performance sustainability was already called into question. The collision of highly leverage with the severe economic shock from COVID-19 has created unique financial problems. Join us for this unique virtual event with Professor Edward Altman, a world-renowned expert on high-yield and distressed debt and the father of the Altman Z-score for predicting bankruptcy.

Professor Altman will discuss:
  • indicators suggesting credit deterioration before the pandemic
  • global economic recession
  • the catalyst for credit market changes
  • default and recovery rates on high-yield bonds
  • the number of large firm bankruptcies that we expect over the next twelve months and beyond
  • yield spreads and distress ratios
  • liquidity
After the discussion, Professor Altman will take questions from the audience. This is an exclusively virtual event that will be streamed live via the Zoom platform for all registered participants. This webinar qualifies for 1.50 CRC Continuing Education Units.

The event will be free of charge for RMA members and $35 for non-members. To learn more about RMA membership please visit https://www.rmahq.org/membership-types/ and for questions related to membership please send inquiries to member@rmahq.org.
