HONG KONG: An offshore bondholders’ group of cash-strapped Kaisa is offering up to $2 billion to acquire stalled housing projects of the Shenzhen-based developer to facilitate their completion, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said. The takeover talks are in early stages, according to the people, who declined to be named as they were not authorised to speak to the media on this subject. If successful, it would be the first foreign investor takeover of Chinese developers’ distressed residential assets in the latest wave of crises to hit the property sector over the past year. It also comes as authorities are scrambling to contain a mortgage boycott by homebuyers against stalled projects. Kaisa Group, the second-largest US dollar bond issuer among Chinese developers after China Evergrande Group, is in the process of restructuring its $12 billion offshore debt after defaulting on some bonds last year. It is also struggling to repay its debt onshore and tap capital to complete its projects.
Sri Lankan shares ended higher on Wednesday to close at fresh 5-1/2-month high, driven by a surge in financial companies. The CSE All-Share index ended up 1.7% at 9,914.12 points. The index is down nearly 19% so far this year. International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said on Tuesday that she hoped to see Sri Lanka’s public creditors quickly engage and then bring private creditors on board for debt negotiations. Financial advisory group Lazard has started talks with India, China and Japan on restructuring Sri Lanka’s debt, a Sri Lanka government spokesman said Tuesday, as the crisis-hit nation seeks an International Monetary Fund (IMF) bailout. The nation of 22 million is facing its worst economic crisis since independence in 1948, as it struggles with soaring inflation, economic contraction and a severe shortage of essential items caused by a record slump in foreign reserves. Sri Lankan shares snap four-day win streak as financials weigh Microfinance company LOLC Development Finance Plc and commercial lender Sampath Bank were the top financial gainers, rising 8.4% and 13.7%, respectively.
Colombo: Financial advisory group Lazard has begun talks with countries like India, Japan and China to initiate Sri Lanka’s debt restructuring process, a Sri Lankan government spokesperson said Tuesday, amidst the crisis-hit island nation’s worst economic crisis in decades. In May, Sri Lanka hired Lazard and Clifford Chance, a consortium of international lawyers to kick-start the restructuring of the country’s debt. Earlier this month, the IMF announced that it will provide Sri Lanka with a loan of about USD 2.9 billion over four years under a preliminary agreement to help the bankrupt island nation tide over its worst economic crisis and protect the livelihoods of the people. However, for the deal to go through, the country will require debt relief from its three main creditors, namely India, China and Japan. Together, they hold about USD 13 billion of Sri Lanka’s debt, with China being Sri Lanka’s largest bilateral creditor. “They are in the process of speaking to India, China, Japan, mainly to ensure we come to some sort of consensus”, the Daily Mirror Lanka newspaper quoted acting cabinet spokesperson Ramesh Pathirana as saying, while referring to Lazard. “We will keep our fingers crossed that we will be able to come to an agreement,” he added.
In mid-April, Sri Lanka declared its international debt default due to the forex crisis. The country owes USD 51 billion in foreign debt, of which USD 28 billion must be paid by 2027.

Hi. Aaron Weinman here. A corner of the hedge-fund world can''t stop talking about one of Millenium Partners'' most prominent trading teams. Glen Scheinberg, the portfolio manager whose team has minted billions of dollars for Millenium, became a hot topic on Wall Street. Let''s unpack why. And don''t forget, there''s our Banker of the Week! If this was forwarded to you, sign up here . Download Insider''s app here . 1. Hedge funders seemingly can''t stop chatting about the fate of Millennium''s index-rebalance king. Searches on the Bloomberg terminal for Glen Scheinberg — the portfolio manager whose team has met with much success at Millenium — spiked to 1,300 one afternoon in June. The source of the intrigue? It probably stemmed from the carnage that was enveloping the index-rebalance trading complex, a strategy that has surged in popularity in recent years. Scheinberg''s team — known as SRBL, for the initials of its founders — are considered Goliaths in this space. The team''s success spawned copycat efforts, and the strategy of betting on which stocks will be added and removed from indexes has grown.

One month after Sri Lanka defaulted on its sovereign debt for the first time in its history, global bondholders are looking to pick up the pieces through various forms of recourse. This week, numerous foreign holders of Sri Lankan debt began to take action in an attempt to recoup funds from the nation of 22 million with an economy that recently appointed Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said has «completely collapsed». Earlier this week, Hamilton Reserve Bank – holder of more than $250 million of Sri Lanka’s 5.875 percent bond due July 25 – filed a legal suit in a New York federal court seeking full payment of principal and interest. The Saint Kitts and Nevis-headquartered lender accused Sri Lanka of excluding certain bondholders from an announced restructuring, underlining that the default is being «orchestrated by officials at the highest levels of government». Separately, more than 30 asset managers holding international Sri Lankan bonds formed a creditor group to start debt restructuring talks with the island nation.

Houlihan Lokey Offering Junior Employees Five Night Caribbean Vacation In Bid To Retain Young Talent We have been documenting the steps that numerous investment banking firms have been taking (or, in Goldman''s case, not taking) to try and retain their junior bankers amidst an environment where many employees are complaining about their work life balance. The latest in the line of "perks" that we have been pointing out comes from Houlihan Lokey Inc., who gave some of its employees a five night stay at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion in the Caribbean. As Bloomberg notes , the vacation "represents a silent plea to the companys junior employees: Please dont quit." And that has been the ethos of late, with junior bankers apparently wielding all of the power as one investment bank after the next capitulates to the idea that junior bankers are being overworked and underpaid.
