this book would not have been the same without the unprecedented access to high-quality data. We would like to thank eFront, and namely Thibaut de Laval, for their continued support and the access to the eFront Insight (formerly Pevara) data. Our thankfulness extends to StepStone, and namely Thomas Häfliger andMarc Lickes, for their exclusive access to data regarding senior debt. It is thanks to this highly valued cooperation that our book can be more comprehensive in its coverage and hopefully more relevant to the readers. Any mistake or omission remains ours, as well as the conclusions drawn upon the use of the data.如果没有对高质量数据的前所未有的访问，这本书就不会是同一本书。我们要感谢eFront，即Thibaut de Laval，感谢他们的持续支持和对eFront Insight（前身为Pevara）数据的访问。我们感谢StepStone，即Thomas Häfliger和Marc Lickes，他们独家访问了有关优先债务的数据。正是由于这种高度重视的合作，我们的书才能更全面地报道，并希望与读者更相关。任何错误或遗漏以及使用数据得出的结论都属于我们。
