Agent Skills: debt-design

Matches the kind of debt a firm issues to the assets it finances — maturity, currency, fixed or floating, and features such as convertibility or commodity linkage — using asset duration and the sensitivity of firm value and operating income to interest rates, inflation, real growth and exchange rates. Use when advising on what debt to issue, reviewing an existing debt structure, choosing debt maturity or debt currency, deciding fixed versus floating, or after finding an optimal debt ratio.
