Introduction to Syndicated and Leveraged Finance

Syndicated Finance involves multiple lenders providing a loan to a single borrower. This structure is typically used for large-scale projects or corporate financing needs that exceed the capacity of a single lender. Leveraged Finance, on the other hand, involves raising capital through debt instruments that carry higher risk, often used for acquisitions, buyouts, or restructuring.

Types of Syndicated and Leveraged Finance

1. Syndicated Loans: Loans offered by a group of lenders, with terms and conditions negotiated collectively.
2. Leveraged Loans: Loans extended to companies or individuals with substantial existing debt, often characterized by higher interest rates.
3. Mezzanine Financing: A hybrid of debt and equity financing, typically used in leveraged buyouts.
4. High-Yield Bonds: Bonds issued by companies with lower credit ratings, offering higher returns due to increased risk.
