We find ourselves in a truly unique and uncertain time period. Covid-19 is creating untold devastation on our economy. Although there have been many signs of improvement in the past few months, we believe there will be a wave of bad debt and bank balance sheets that could crumble under the pressure of distress. While we can't predict or pretend to know the total number of bad loans or what the bottom of the market might look like we do understand that there will be substantial opportunities in the market for distressed investing.
