What to Check

Check the debt document, obligor, principal amount, maturity, coupon or rate, covenant language, seniority, collateral, market price, servicing status, legal process, and restructuring terms.

Common Mistakes

  • Treating debt, credit, liability, and obligation labels as interchangeable.
  • Ignoring seniority, collateral, covenants, maturity, and restructuring priority.
  • Comparing debt ratios without matching accounting basis and reporting period.
  • Using market labels without reading the contract or offering document.
