China’s Evergrande has long been an icon. It is not only a real estate developer, but a conglomerate that has embarked in many different ventures, including the production of electric vehicles.

Unfortunately, reaching such a huge size has come at the prize of huge leverage. Leverage is the use of debt in order to undertake an investment or project. At the same time, leverage will also multiply the potential downside risk in case the investment does not pan out. Evergrande was ‘highly leveraged,’ meaning that it has more debt than equity.
