About Jared Muroff
A Chartered Financial Analyst, I lead the Octus team of financial analysts and reporters covering stressed and distressed U.S. companies across various industries with a keen focus on Liability Management Exercises. I’ve helped hundreds of clients understand these transactions so they can make the right investment decision.
I have a breadth of skills in analyzing and investing in distressed situations including providing credit to companies in bankruptcy (both debtor-in-possession and exit financing), purchasing of unsecured debt obligations of companies in bankruptcy (“trade claims”), as well as managing portfolios of loans and trade claims; tracking investments from purchase to realization through the court approved bankruptcy process. Analyzing distressed investments has afforded me the opportunity to research all manner of industries including busted Ponzi schemes.
