Classification Framework
What We Mean by a Special Situation
A special situation arises when the circumstances surrounding an asset render conventional valuation approaches ineffective, while the right structure and timing can generate asymmetric returns. We classify these situations into six categories:
01
Emerging Opportunities
Regulatory shifts, sanctions-driven opportunities, and emerging technologies
02
Dispute-Driven Situations
Shareholder deadlocks, divorce-related asset disputes, and inheritance disputes
03
Restructuring
Business separations, asset carve-outs, and foreign investor exits
04
Distressed Investments
Defaults, bankruptcies, and the risk of collateral loss
05
Mispriced Opportunities
Illiquidity and lack of analyst coverage
06
Other Situations
Situations outside the first five categories, supported by a clear investment rationale
