"CrossingBridge outlines how it avoided the First Brands collapse and capitalized on CODI's senior notes, warning that broader credit markets are exhibiting dangerous, bubble-like complacency."
CrossingBridge's Q3 2025 Commentary warns against the hazards of chasing yield in a market defined by 'irrational complacency.' It uses the sudden Chapter 11 bankruptcy of First Brands Group to illustrate how opaque reporting, aggressive off-balance-sheet SPVs, and factoring programs mask structural decay. Conversely, CrossingBridge outlines its successful contrarian investment in Compass Diversified Holdings (CODI) 2029 senior notes, which it purchased at a discount after conducting a detailed look-through analysis of the company's subsidiaries. This analysis proved the parent-level notes were well-secured despite isolated accounting irregularities at its Lugano subsidiary. Moving forward, CrossingBridge is focusing on capital preservation by raising portfolio credit quality and slightly extending duration.
