Distressed for Control Private Equity
The purchase of distressed assets is, at its core, deep value investing. Distressed investing strategies provide investors with an attractive opportunity to diversify their portfolios. Distressed investors that employ an “active” strategy seek to purchase a large position in the controlling debt class of a company’s capital structure so they can exert influence during a bankruptcy or restructuring process.
Highland's distressed private equity strategy targets illiquid distressed for control opportunities in the middle market. Our dedicated private equity and restructuring teams have extensive experience navigating the complexities of bankruptcy litigation and restructuring, as well as driving operational improvements in portfolio companies.
