under-performing loans


Explanation:
there is a distinction between non-performing and under-performing loans (though it is not always clear exactly where the boundary lies)
and 'gestoert' seems to imply that these loans are not completely dead just yet so I wonder if 'under-performing' might be more accurate here?
