Now, Chris Affenden has been covering European restructuring for a long time.
He has seen a lot of deals, tracked a lot of
Careers, and there is one person who keeps showing up at the center of almost every major chapter in this market going back decades.
The birth of distressed investing in Europe, the moment American firms arrived in London, and the magic circle firms told their partners it was a terrible idea, the financial crisis, Goldman Sachs, Ukraine, Part 26A, and Chris finally sat down with him.
What struck me listening to this conversation is how honest it is.
This is someone
Who will tell you he accidentally fell into restructuring because he needed a job?
That he plagiarized one good idea for 43 years and built a career out of it.
That he was in a taxi trying to remember what to say before briefing the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Northern Rock.
That the European distress trading market exists largely because Eurotunnel's banks accidentally created 14 tranches of debt that traders could play with.
And then at the end, after all of it, he says something.
That I think is the whole point.
The job is to fix a company, to get it back to doing what it actually does.
Employing people, growing, contributing something.
And somewhere along the way, the industry lost sight of that.
Too many advisors, too many clauses, too many barnacles on a document that started as a term sheet and a handshake.
So here is Chris Haffenden, senior editor at Octus, with Andrew Wilkinson.
That was Andrew Wilkinson in conversation with Chris Hafenden.
43 years in the market, and he's still the person in the room saying what everyone else is thinking but will not say.
The industry got complicated because advisors let it get complicated.
