Abstract

In this research letter, we suggest a novel trigger for Dynamic Control of Leverage (DCL). These instruments are analogous to conventional Contingent Convertible (CoCo) bonds, employed to constrain a firm’s leverage within specified limits, thus minimizing the likelihood of default. Our proposed trigger enables continuous leverage monitoring, bringing in the desired flexibility allowing the conversion to be triggered ahead of the cash payment. This alternative design, building upon the DCL mechanism, has been shown to further reduce the probability of default while preserving the desirable mean-reverting behaviour of the leverage dynamic. We provide evidence of the model’s effectiveness and discuss the implications of its implementation.
