Special Situations

Special situations are events, either financial or operational or else, which cause businesses to stop operating as usual and which have a material impact on their value. When one of these events materialises the company goes through a crisis or at least a short term transition period which needs to be skilfully managed. The company may need to refinance its debt, or just a short term liquidity facility, or a more fundamental reshaping of its capital structure which may imply finding a an equity partner or equitizing part of the existing debt. The company may also need operational restructuring in order to tackle successfully new products or market challenges.
Exito Partners has access to a wide network of investors and industry specialists who have the expertise and stamina to bring companies successfully through both financial and operational turnarounds.

Capital Raising

Exito Partner’s network of investors extends beyond Europe and the London market and the firm is trusted by investors also in US & Canada (through a chaperoning agreement), as well as parts of Asia and the Middle East. Investors include pensions funds, private equity funds, family offices, and HWNI who are constantly looking for new investment or co-investment opportunities, and not limited to the distressed and special situations sector.
Exito Partners is particularly interested to hear from parties that are looking to raise only part of the funds for a particular project in order to find a co-investor and thus manage their own risk.
Exito Partner can quickly assess the merit of an investment opportunity and organise accordingly one-to-one meetings with selected investors, participations into specialised industry conferences and road shows.
Thanks to extensive relationships with banks and other financial institutions Exito Partners can also raise capital in the form of debt financing.

NPL Portfolio Solutions

The general consensus is that we are facing another decade of NPL portfolio deals thanks to the ECB policy, and that of other central banks, of forcing commercial banks to clean up their balance sheet from bad loans. Furthermore, investors think that likely interest rises, geopolitical conflicts, and Brexit are important macroeconomic factors that will continue driving the restructuring of European banks balance sheets in 2018. Exito Partners thinks that geographic areas of particular interest and focus will continue to be Southern Europe but also Ukraine, Russia, India, Turkey, and China.
Exito Partners provides valuations, structuring, and sale services to financial intuitions that have to navigate the uncharted waters of a NPL portfolio sale transaction, whereby due to the very illiquid nature of the assets classes, extraction of a fair value price for the assets is a very challenging and time consuming endeavour particularly when attempted for the first time.
Our firm is capable of supporting clients throughout the sale process and find the best strategy or solution to maximise value and execution probability of a NPL portfolio sale.

Structured solutions

Often a solution to a problem requires thinking outside the box and coming up with something bespoke and creative.
A structured solution is looking at the financial problem differently, yet in a way that still manages to achieve maximisation of the eventual outcome. A structured solution more complex than perhaps the plain vanilla equity investment, debt issuance, or outright sale of an NPL portfolio, and often implies bringing two parties together in sharing the outcome and success of a financial transaction.
Exito Partners has worked with many financial institutions and devised various structured solutions in the shipping, infrastructure, real estate and NPL sectors. We pride ourselves on delivering best value for our clients and ultimately exploring all available options.
