Our view
Special situations need speed, structure and judgement. We look for a clear catalyst, real underlying value and counterparties who want a solution. Capital is often only one part of the answer; the structure around it matters as much.
We consider minority and majority positions, joint ventures, acquisitions of assets or businesses, and structured capital where security or terms protect the downside.
What we look for
- A clear catalyst for change
- Tangible underlying value in the business or asset
- Motivated counterparties and a realistic timetable
- Downside protection through structure or security
- Management or partners able to execute
- Facts that can be verified in the time available
Sounds like you? Present an opportunity
What we avoid
- Situations that depend on confidential market-sensitive information
- Opportunities where facts cannot be verified in time
- Disputes where ownership or legal process is unclear
- Transactions structured mainly to avoid regulation
How a deal comes together
Tell us the situation, the timetable and who the counterparties are. We will say quickly whether we can work within it. Where we can, we move to a focused review of the information that matters most to value and risk, then agree a structure.
