Ross Hallock

I analyzed and provided commentary upon the extremely complex contracts that govern corporate debt obligations, including bond indentures and credit agreements. I published research reports for the benefit of Covenant Review's subscribers, which include hedge funds, other investment funds, and law firms. My team covered nearly every new issue of high yield bonds in the U.S., as well as many in Europe.

I also wrote event-driven reports, reports discussing market trends and developments, and reports identifying contract-based trade opportunities.
