-------2023 is going to finish up as the worst year for corporate bankruptcies since the end of the Global Financial Crisis. This year has also claimed the two biggest bankruptcies in American history that didn’t occur during the GFC and if that’s got you feeling nervous, don’t worry, according to the numbers 2024 is going to be much worse.According to data from Standard & Poor’s, corporate bankruptcies in the major companies they track were up over 200% in the first half of 2023. High profile companies like wework, Vice Media and Bed Bath and Beyond all went under due to a combination of poor management, changing consumer preferences, high interest rates and bad market conditions.But what does this even mean?Even though these companies went bankrupt Vice is still making videos, you can still rent a office from WeWork, and Bed Bath and Beyond is still selling overpriced laundry hampers. Bankruptcies just aren’t what they used to be anymore and now instead of being the corporate equivalent of game over, it’s just another business strategy, which is just one of four reasons why it’s become so popular. Now you all know I hate videos from supposed experts with wide open mouths peddling some doomer, but the other three reasons why bankruptcies are on the rise are honestly worrying and they also show why business leaders just don’t take it seriously anymore. The first reason that bankruptcies are booming is because of a new investing strategy that rewards taking on as much risk as possible. Private equity is a broad classification of investing that just means putting money into companies that are not publicly listed on any securities exchange.Venture capitalists who invest in early startups are a type of private equity, all of the deals you watch get made on shark tank are private equity deals… if you give your family member a few thousand dollars to get their Etsy store going in exchange for a cut of their future profits you are technically a private equity investor, so make sure to slap that on your LinkedIn profile. But even though that is going to hurt lenders and employees, for the private equity companies that created this situation it’s going to be an amazing profit opportunity because you will never believe it, they can use bankruptcies to make even more money.So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out what’s really behind the Bankruptcy Boom.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.
