Who We Are

We source and respond creatively to companies and stake-owners facing challenging financing situations that require perspective to analyze or execute.

We focus on opportunities with embedded complexity that is created by liquidity requirements, exceptional growth, absence of intermediate financing by traditional routes, portfolio arbitrage, the search for quick execution and monetization, the need for discretion, management changes, regulatory changes, excessive leverage, corporate governance issues, etc...

We are flexible and we structure investment opportunities in various assets and securities, at any level of the capital structure and across industries.
