Here’s a course description:

Fixed Income & Special Investments — FNBU 4447 – E01
High yield/distressed debt investing overlays the complications and intricacies of corporate organizational structures and legal frameworks with fundamental business valuation and securities selection. Through the use of real-world case studies, the course will examine the actual step-by-step process undertaken by a hedge fund professional when considering an investment in the fixed income securities of a highly leveraged company. The course will be taught by a senior partner from a large distressed debt hedge fund with the goal of providing students with an analytical framework for analyzing and investing in high-yielding fixed income securities.

And here is information about the instructor:

He previously held the positions of director at Party City Corporation, vice president in the special situations investing group at Goldman, Sachs & Co., principal at the financial consulting firm Stroble & Associates, and corporate finance associate in the retail industry group at Citibank, N.A.
