Brazilian hedge fund manager SPX Capital is taking a leading role alongside other asset management firms in restructuring negotiations on behalf of a group of investors holding local bonds of troubled retailer Americanas SA, according to a report by Bloomberg.

Minutes for a bondholders group meeting held on 6 February confirm that SPX, along with XP Asset Management, Riza, Icatu Vanguarda, Prada, Moneda and Exes has been appointed to a committee that will represent a group of holders of the firm’s domestic debt.
