Pericles Capital Advisors, LLC provides institutional clients, high net worth and family offices with unique investment opportunities in distressed and special situations asset classes. 

 

 

 

We currently provide such potential investors with the ability and discretion on a deal-by-deal basis.  This relatively unique model potentially allows for more optimal fee structures and better discretion over investments as opposed to the traditional blind-pool model.

We target investments across the entire capital structure, including senior and subordinated, secured and unsecured debt as well as equity, in both public and private large-cap and middle-market companies. We target the following investment characteristics:


 

Discounted assets nearing the bottom of their economic cycle - focus on sold-off securities in sectors that are anticipated to be close to the bottom of their economic cycle; leading to a large discount cushion

 

 

 

Ability to optimally position in the capital structure - seeking yield in senior secured positions or seeking higher returns in more junior tranches

 


Equity-like investments through debt instruments with potentially better liquidity at exit relative to private equity – investments in relatively more liquid publicly traded debt and equity securities that convert into new debt and equity securities (“loan-to-own strategies”)

 


Assets that are going through a transformation – either through capital structure de-levering and/or cost cutting including shedding of legacy liabilities through chapter 11; sectors on the cusp of volume or pricing power recovery

 


Chase pricing power - seeking assets and companies with recovering pricing power against the backdrop of the current global deflationary environment
