$300 Billion Debt Wall Looms Over Private-Equity Firms

Original: A $300B 'Debt Wall' Is Looming over Private-Equity Backed Companies

A $300 billion wave of debt taken on by private-equity backed companies is coming due at once, a scenario analysts call a 'debt wall.' Firms that borrowed cheaply in the low-rate era now face refinancing at far higher costs, raising concerns about defaults, restructurings and losses for lenders and investors across the private-markets sector.

Why now: Rising interest rates make refinancing this debt far more expensive, so readers are watching for stress in leveraged private-equity portfolios.
