What this question trains
This question practices how bondholder committees work in financial restructuring and why some investors choose not to join them. Candidates need to understand the tradeoff between having a voice in negotiations and giving up privacy, since committee members may have to disclose their holdings and report trading activity. Interviewers ask this kind of question to test whether you understand creditor coordination, confidentiality concerns, and the practical incentives that shape participation in distressed situations.
