Round #59: Drexel Burnham Lambert: Godfather of Private Credit

Debt Serious | neutral | Published: 13:01 Sep 10, 2026 (Eastern)

The article, published on the Debt Serious Substack, is the 59th edition of a newsletter focused on private credit and leveraged loans. The main piece traces the history of Drexel Burnham Lambert and its lasting influence on today's private credit industry. The author begins with the origins of Drexel & Co., founded in 1837 in Louisville, Kentucky by Francis Martin Drexel, an Austrian-born painter-turned-currency broker who leveraged his familiarity with foreign currencies during the U.S. 'Free Banking' era. The firm grew under his son Anthony Joseph Drexel into a major financial institution that helped finance the Union Army during the Civil War and later partnered with J.P. Morgan. The narrative then traces the firm's evolution through various mergers into Drexel Burnham Lambert, and the rise of Michael Milken's high-yield ('junk') bond operations, which ultimately led to the firm's 1990 bankruptcy. A central theme is Drexel's alumni network and its role in founding prominent modern private credit firms. The article cites Apollo Global Management (Leon Black), Crescent Capital Group (Mark Attanasio, Bob Beyer, and Jean-Marc Chapus), and Canyon Capital (Mitch Julis and Josh Friedman) as firms with direct Drexel roots, and notes that other alumni include Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, Jefferies CEO Rich Handler, and Ken Moelis of Moelis & Co. The piece opens with a note that the newsletter has reached 100 paid subscribers, and closes with a bulletin board section listing promotional offers for financial data and research tools.

Keywords: Drexel Burnham Lambert, junk bonds, high-yield debt, private credit, investment banking, credit markets, financial collapse, 1980s financial crisis, structured finance, leverage

Bloomberg Markets | neutral | Subscription | Published: 09:18 Sep 10, 2026 (Eastern)

U.S. mortgage rates have risen above 7% for the first time in 15 months, according to the Wall Street Journal. Rates had previously declined to around 6% in late February before reversing course after the U.S. and Israel began a war with Iran, which disrupted oil shipments and drove up inflation.

Houthis seize key Yemeni port of Mocha in drive to take control of Red Sea coast

Guardian | negative | Subscription | Published: 07:39 Sep 10, 2026 (Eastern)

Houthi forces have seized the Yemeni port of Mocha in Taiz province, along with the inland city of Hays and the Khalid ibn al-Walid military base, in what analysts describe as the most serious wave of fighting since the UN-sponsored ceasefire of April 2022. The group claims to have taken control of more than 2,320 square miles of territory as it pushes to consolidate hold over Yemen's Red Sea coast. The commander of Yemeni government forces, Maj Gen Tareq Saleh, acknowledged a strategic retreat south of Mocha to regroup, citing heavy casualties. Conflict monitor Acled estimated 276 fatalities over a five-day period alone. The Houthis' advance brings Iran-aligned forces closer to controlling the Bab al-Mandab strait, a key chokepoint for shipping at the southern end of the Red Sea. Analysts from Rusi and Acled say a reduction in hostilities appears unlikely, with both sides escalating in an attempt to force a compromise. Saudi Arabia has launched dozens of airstrikes on Houthi positions in response to Houthi drone and missile attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure and cities. Questions have arisen about whether Saudi Arabia will invoke the Mecca defence agreement, which includes Pakistan and Turkey, though the pact is considered defensive in nature and unlikely to apply to Yemen operations. The current escalation traces back to July, when Saudi Arabia bombed a runway to prevent an Iranian plane carrying a Houthi delegation from landing in Sana'a following the funeral of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The Houthis subsequently declared a Red Sea naval blockade of Saudi Arabia, followed by strikes on Saudi oil infrastructure. The fighting has contributed to oil prices rising above $100 a barrel.

Trump Wants to Give Out $5,000 Checks. It Would Cost More Than $1 Trillion.

NYT front page | neutral | Subscription | Published: 13:56 Sep 10, 2026 (Eastern)

President Trump has proposed giving every American adult a $5,000 "dividend" check, contingent on Republicans maintaining control of Congress. According to experts cited in the article, the plan would likely require congressional approval, cost more than $1 trillion in total, worsen the federal deficit, and contribute to a rise in inflation.
