Kirchner Hedge Fund Services Group helps alleviate the following issues with operational/control debt, equity, or private equity positions:

• Performance pressure – achieving an optimal valuation for illiquid positions
• Liquidity concerns – ability to sell illiquid positions to generate cash
• Redemption pressure – get cash back to fund’s investors to preserve/strengthen client relationships
• Lack of staff – help funds that are not staffed for operational workouts
• Talent allocation – keep key talent focused on opportunities, not problems
• Portfolio management – avoid having to sell liquid/performing positions resulting in a less liquid portfolio
• Management of non-core positions or portfolios – reduce resources committed to non-core activities

Existing solutions to operational problems are less attractive and typically include:

• Workout – Managers have a fiduciary balancing act over time and resources spent on troubled positions; hard fought recoveries often impact attention paid to opportunities and other positions
• Consultants – hiring and managing a web of executives, directors, consultants, many of whom will change over the course of the workout
• Fire sale – quick sale, liquidation or secondary transaction (single name or portfolio) at a deep discount
• Economically unfavorable restructuring – harm economics and often trade illiquid securities for illiquid securities
