Deleverage

    0.17 sec.
Deleverage
The reduction of financial instruments or borrowed capital previously used to increase the potential return of an investment. It is the opposite of leverage.

Notes:
Increasing leverage increases a firm's risk, therefore, deleveraging attempts to lower risk.

When a firm deleverages its balance sheet, that's a sign of slowing growth.
