Coleman Andrews Explains Distinct Variations
among Senior and Junior Credit

• One form of debt is investor-friendly at this
  time the other is not. Investors should identify
  the primary difference. Coleman Andrews make
  clear in specifics about the main difference
  among senior and junior credit.
•  
• Since high-yield indexes hit peak levels, RMWC's
  Coleman Andrews represents sharp distinctions in
  between senior and junior credit. The costs of
  various risk assets have reached or are flirting
  with all-time or the latest higher levels. The
  SP 500 has set up many recent records, and most
  high-yield debt indices are trading at the
  substantial premium to par. However, the
  risk/return metrics for senior secured debt and
  junior high-yield debt look very different at
  that time. Why? What are the implications for
  investors?
•  
• According to Coleman Andrews, considering that
  the spring of 2009, the Fed has made junior
  credit investing a comparatively content idea.
  The combination of Zero Interest Rate Policy and
  bond purchasing by the Fed has generally worked
  to drive up the prices of junior credit assets.
  Hundreds of billions of dollars have flowed into
  the high-yield sector alone as investors have
  sought nominal return to replace what they once
  could reasonably expect from traditional
  fixed-income investments.

Demand has driven a robust appetite for new
issues, in turn driving the high-yield indices
into premium territory. While talking about more
details on the subject Coleman Andrews stated,
"During the same time period, a very distinct
picture has continued to develop in the middle
market, senior secured loans market. Supply has
contracted as many huge banks happen to be merged
out of existence, and as mega-banks and
super-regional have struggled to deliver. At the
same time, CLOs in addition to hedge funds are no
longer the original source of sufficient funds
which they were in the year 2006 and 2007 for the
middle market field."   This is the story of two
market segments, leaving investors to think about
which one is actually mispriced. In late March,
junior high-yield bonds were offering an average
of 6.35 while senior secured middle market loans
were offering 6.83. The bonds are generally
fixed rate no inflation protection there while
the middle market loans are variable rate tied to
LIBOR. The bonds represent higher risk due to
advantage 1.27 of yield for every unit of
advantage while the middle market loans earn
1.75 of yield for every unit of advantage. Data
from Moodys and SP for 1987-2009 show that
junior bonds tend to fare more poorly in a
default situation, recovering an average of 29
of principal versus an 86 recovery for middle
market loans. Terms and conditions are also very
different the bonds are typically covenant-light
whereas the middle market loan tends to have
muscular covenants that favor the lender.

 Coleman Andrews additionally added, "Overall,
one market is supplying paper that is certainly
highly borrower-friendly. The other marketplace
is giving credit, which is quite lender-friendly.
The sensible investor will need to consider the
kind of paper is a bit more investor-friendly."
