Education
With an eye to preparing UVA students for careers in credit and restructuring, CRX hosts weekly meetings to teach the fundamentals underlying these roles. Meetings cover topics including valuation, credit markets, capital structure, restructuring case studies, and more.
Whether it be providing students with learning resources, advising them through recruiting, or answering questions during general body meetings, CRX stays ahead of the curve.
Networking
We understand the importance of learning straight from the source. CRX hosts information sessions, networking events, and guest lectures with some of the best firms and brightest individuals in the industry.
As market conditions sustain the supply of credit and companies increasingly look to private markets, it is no surprise that both private credit and restructuring are growing industries. Firms are turning more readily to undergraduate talent to drive this growth, and CRX strives to place UVA students in the forefront.
Mentorship
Our most valuable resource is our people. Having successfully gone through the recruiting process, 3rd and 4th years in the club are knowledgeable about the nuances of credit and restructuring. They are more than willing to guide younger members through the recruiting process by providing preparation materials, conducting mock interviews, and simply sharing what they know. Mentoring underclassmen is what CRX was founded on.
What We Cover
UVA's first debt-focused investment club
Financial Restructuring
Financial restructuring is the process of reorganizing a company's capital structure during times of financial distress to reduce its debt obligations and improve liquidity moving forward. This often involves negotiating new terms with creditors, converting debt to equity, or refinancing existing loans to better align with the company’s ability to pay. Restructuring professionals can advise debtors or creditors to distressed businesses, whether out-of-court or in bankruptcy.
Credit Investing
Credit investing involves deploying capital into a company’s debt instruments with the goal of generating returns through interest and potential capital gains. In the distressed context, investors target companies facing financial or operational challenges, where debt trades at a discount to its face value. By providing rescue financing, purchasing loans, or negotiating restructurings, credit investors can influence outcomes and capture upside as businesses stabilize or recover. This strategy demands deep analysis of capital structures, collateral value, and creditor rights to identify opportunities and manage downside risk.
