The High Yield market: Towards a resumption in M&A and LBO transactions in 2025

13/02/2025

The restrictive monetary policies introduced by central banks in 2022 considerably increased the cost of financing for companies, leading to a sharp drop in primary issues on the credit market. This contraction was particularly marked in the High Yield segment, where the volume of new issues fell by almost 80% between the peak of 2021 and 2022. The gradual recovery observed in 2023 and 2024 was mainly concentrated on refinancing transactions.

Letter from the CIO AM : Tectonic movements and a reasonable allocation

31/01/2025
