The Road Less Traveled: Investing in Special Situations
Julian Salisbury, Maria Boyazny, Justin Chang, Jeff Robinson, David Leonhardt Jr.
Major credit and real estate managers including Bain Capital Credit, Colony Northstar, and MB Global are pivoting from shrinking US liquid markets toward illiquid assets in Southern Europe and the Asia-Pacific region to exploit a turning credit cycle and lower institutional competition. While European opportunities offer massive non-performing loan volumes, investors demand deep discounts to offset judicial delays and political uncertainty, whereas Asian markets present structural immaturity despite significant regulatory barriers to capital repatriation. To navigate these complexities, firms are shifting capital from traditional secondary trading to direct lending, digital infrastructure, and niche distressed strategies that provide downside protection amid rising macroeconomic instability and protectionist trends.
