Turnaround & restructuring

In a constantly changing environment, it is critical that a company recognises both the opportunities and obstacles it faces and takes the needed steps to reorganise and restructure its operations to maximise potential.

Often this involves an in-depth assessment of objectives and operations and a review of policies and transactions to pinpoint issues or underlying problems within. Our turnaround and restructuring professionals have extensive experience in these areas, ensuring that your entity is poised for recovery and/or potential expansion.   

Kinetic Partners has specific expertise in unwinding and providing accelerated recoveries to stakeholders in illiquid investment funds and special purpose vehicles.  We have considerable experience in providing third party resolution - serving as trustee, liquidator, monitor, or advisor - in both unwinding complex financial instruments and seeking recoveries for the benefit of stakeholders.

• Managing the resolution and realisation of off-balance sheet derivatives
• Advising stakeholders on exit strategies in distressed vehicles
• Transferring distressed assets to a newly formed trust, to be managed independently
