    Big news from 9fin: we’ve just launched our latest version of 9fin AI, and it’s a game-changer for credit analysts. AI gets a lot of hype, but at 9fin, we’re putting it to work in ways that matter. Our latest release now integrates SEC documents, meaning you can ask any credit-related question and get answers in seconds — pulled from a rich mix of sources like transcripts, offering memorandums, and 9fin’s proprietary content. As an analyst, I’ve seen it transform my workflow first-hand. Tasks that once took hours now take minutes. Want to see how it can help credit and legal analysts like you? Check out my blog post below. And a huge shoutout to Hannes K. and our engineering team for the work they do behind the scenes on our best-in-class AI integration. https://lnkd.in/eyNVNrT5

    We’re proud to see our senior distressed reporter, Bianca Francesca Boorer, representing 9fin at the Warwick Women in Economics' International Women’s Day conference! 🎉 Bianca joined an incredible panel with Claudia A. R. De Meulemeester from the Financial Times and Zahra Manji from ITV News to share insights on financial journalism and covering the complex world of distressed debt. 👏✨ It was great to see Bianca sharing her expertise and helping to guide future financial journalists! 💪 Some snippets from the Q&A: How is artificial intelligence shaping the future of financial journalism? We integrate AI on 9fin's platform and it’s a very useful tool for financial journalism. I don’t think, however, that it will replace journalists as AI will not be able to obtain proprietary information from sources. However, AI has it’s use cases in ordering and searching through large data sets, which supports us in our day-to-day jobs. In an age of misinformation, how can financial journalists maintain public trust?That’s a good question. Unfortunately, there is a lot of fake news out there, but facts are facts. However, data needs to be used in the right way — correlation doesn’t equal causation. So we need to be careful about representing data fairly and accurately. Ultimately, the more you report on things accurately the more the market trusts your information is credible.

    I had a fabulous time speaking at Warwick Women in Economics' International Women's day conference yesterday. I was on the Financial Journalism panel as Senior Distressed Reporter for 9fin alongside Claudia A. R. De Meulemeester, Senior Correspondent at the Financial Times and Zahra Manji, Journalist at ITV News. We gave our insights into what it's like day to day reporting on our respective beats. ✍ It's great to come full circle after attending these types of events when Claudia and I were students ourselves on our Journalism Masters' courses at City St George’s, University of London! 🎓 Here is a little snippet from the Q&A: Tell us more about your role as a distressed debt reporter? "So I cover companies that are struggling to repay their debt, which is quite a spicy part of the market. These companies need to find solutions for their capital structures, which is what I try to find out more about. The market is pretty opaque and so I try to make it more transparent by providing clarity on these complex situations. When you look at companies’ balance sheets there is a pecking order of seniority in terms of debt holders. I often think of these creditors as picking apart the carcass of a dying company. They all want their slab of meat. It’s my job to reflect all these competing views in a balanced way." What would you say is the most challenging piece you worked on?  "Over the last year I have been covering the restructuring of a French telecom company called Altice France, which has been super topical in the market as it involves a lot of creditors. It was challenging to get people involved to speak to me as they signed non-disclosure agreements and therefore were restricted from speaking about private talks. Being a financial journalist means you have influence over the market. With great power comes great responsibility. You don’t want to get it wrong. And even when you get it right it will inevitably still ruffle some feathers. But at the end of the day your job is to report the truth and not give favouritism to any parties involved."

    Europe tends to follow the US in terms of paths and trends. In the distressed market the catch-up has been on aggressive tactics for restructuring deals, with LMEs and co-ops making themselves increasingly felt in Europe. Our senior reporter, Bianca Francesca Boorer, sat down with Kai Zeng, restructuring partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, to discuss how Americanised the European market has become in our Q&A series with industry experts, 9Questions. Our favourite snippet from the interview is around LMEs, which are a hot talking point right now ⤵️ Q: One of the tactics Europe is adopting from the US is LMEs. What types of LMEs do you think we see are the most common in Europe? A: Ultimately, it depends on the specifics of the relevant situation, but I think we’ll see the full range of drop-downs, up-tiers, and double dips. Up-tiers are probably a bit more difficult in Europe given the protections in English law loan agreements and the prevalence of English law intercreditors, but they’re certainly not impossible. Drop-downs will always be looked at, but the issue — which sometimes advisers overlook — is the need to find assets that are suitable, which is not necessarily available in every situation. Optimally, you need to find assets that are valuable on a stand-alone basis, as it’s a more difficult sell to potential investors to finance assets that only have value with reference to the underlying company. But given the amount of capital available for these situations now, and the greater acceptance of them as a feature in the European financing market, it seems inevitable that LMEs will, slowly, become more common.

    When I started my career at JPM on the LevFin desk over a decade ago, I literally complained to anyone who would listen about the archaic tech and data in our market 😅 Fast forward to today, and it’s wild to think we’re in a world where AI is writing reports, drafting IPO prospectuses, and performing complex analyses — all while some banks are still using fax machines. 🤦♂️ So, what does the AI 'revolution' actually mean for debt markets? There could be big implications for high yield issuers who are seeing their business models disrupted, for market participants in DCM like banks, law firms and asset managers.... and also for companies like us at 9fin. 🔮 With the pace of change accelerating, who will come out on top? I’m excited to sit down with Sujeet Indap to tackle these big questions at a 9fin webinar next week. 🎙️ 👇 Sign up using this link — I look forward to answering your questions! https://lnkd.in/ewnSgkxe
