Investing Losers in Bailout of Portuguese Lender Banco Espírito Santo By NYT
European debt traders say hedge funds specializing in distressed debt were the big buyers during this period, betting that even with all the troubles surrounding the bank, there would be no full-fledged bailout.
They were mistaken.
High-yield bond investors were not the only investors to take big losses on Banco Espírito Santo.
The hedge fund Baupost, based in Boston, owned 2.3 percent of the bank at the time of its demise. Other large large holders of the now worthless equity, according to Bloomberg filings, include BlackRock and Capital Research.
BlackRock even added to its equity position in mid-July, Bloomberg filings show.
