Rachelle specializes in data-driven trend analysis and commentary on the leveraged finance markets, focusing her efforts on showcasing developments and movements as tracked by LCD’s S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index – a widely used proxy for the $1.2 trillion leveraged loan market.
Joining LCD in 2014, Rachelle honed her leveraged finance background covering the often complex subset of distressed debt; placing particular emphasis on unearthing the detail behind the balance sheet maneuvers of companies on the brink, and market-moving trends as they relate to stress identifiers in broader market indices.
Before joining LCD, Rachelle wrote for Reuters and IFR on the U.S. high-yield corporate bond market in New York, and prior to that on sovereign and covered bonds as a markets reporter in London during the height of the financial crisis. Rachelle got her start as a research analyst at Thomson Financial, and also held post-graduate derivative trade confirmation roles at WestLB and UBS.
