Loan Losers While relatively high junk credit ratings still attract buyers, loan investors have lost their appetite for risk. Wall Street banks are struggling to sell billions of dollars of loans they made to finance the corporate buyout boom. The slowdown threatens to cool the surge in mergers and acquisitions that has sent takeover volume in 2015 to record levels, thanks in part to easy credit. Investment banks are growing reluctant to back new deals with heavier debt loads or in troubled industries such as energy and pharmaceuticals. That in turn makes it harder for potential acquirers to capture takeover targets. Holding the loans until markets stabilize has become prohibitively expensive for banks because of high capital charges required under the Dodd-Frank law. by email from wsj
