"CrossingBridge is adopting a cautious stance, pulling back from leveraged loans and private credit due to structural strains, while selectively capitalizing on highly protected DIP loans and event-driven debt opportunities."
CrossingBridge's Q4 2025 Commentary discusses market 'taps' (add-on bonds offered at a discount) as an often detrimental event for existing lenders. The letter reviews macroeconomic conditions under Trump 2.0, expressing concern that aggressive interest rate cuts could trigger an overheating economy and inflation (resulting in a bear steepener). It identifies severe cracks in the private credit / direct lending markets characterized by rising defaults and bad PIK debt. Conversely, public credit is projected to remain stable, though expensive. CrossingBridge is actively shifting away from leveraged loans in favor of high-yield fixed-rate bonds, Nordic debt, and carefully analyzed DIP financings (such as Marelli). Case studies of successful restructurings and redemptions (Bally's, Grubhub, Orexo) reinforce their focus on disciplined, bottom-up credit analysis.
