Leveraged Loans

Sperling of THL Partners Talks Leveraged Loans

Scott Sperling, co-president at Thomas H. Lee Partners LP, believes that the credit markets are large enough and active enough to refinance current leveraged deals.  However, he remains “cautious” and “concerned” after the credit crisis and does not completely discount the estimated $430 billion of leveraged loans.  Many of these loans will be called in 2012-2014 but buyout firms will likely try to extend these bank maturities.  Sperling is optimistic about his buyout firm and others being able to restructure these loans, “the capacity exists within the market,” he says.  E-mail subscribers can view the following video here.
