Overview: This paper hypothesizes that the special role of banks as corporate quasi-insiders has been changing due to developments in informational, legal, and institutional infrastructures of syndicated loan markets. We investigate the integration of intermediated and dis-intermediated financial markets through highly leveraged transaction (HLT) syndicated loans during the 1990s. The paper demonstrates that, with the emergence of traded HLT syndicated loans as an alternative high-yield asset to high-yield bonds, market integration has dramatically increased.
