ADM Capital × Trident Capital Advisors

Fund Life Solutions for APAC Private Markets

A structured route for LPs, GPs and funds with stranded private-market positions.

When fund timelines, liquidity, manager capacity or conventional exit routes no longer match the underlying assets, Evenflow brings together ADM Capital’s investment-management capability with Trident Capital Advisors’ restructuring and recovery execution to pursue routes toward liquidity, recovery and realisation.

A collaboration between
ADM Capital Trident Capital Advisors

The Situation

When value remains, but the fund’s original route no longer works.

Residual assets, prolonged exits and under-managed positions can leave holders facing an extended fund life, limited liquidity and pressure to realise value.

01

Delayed exits

Realisations extend beyond the investment horizon, leaving holders without a clear liquidity event.

02

End-of-life funds

A vehicle approaches wind-down, but valuable or stressed residual positions remain unrealised.

03

Eroded confidence

Underperformance, governance issues or misaligned manager economics undermine stakeholder confidence.

04

Manager capacity

Complex or smaller residual positions need specialist attention beyond the incumbent team’s capacity.

05

Distressed assets

Underlying companies require operational intervention, restructuring or specialist recovery action.

06

Investor economics

Long-held positions and existing cost structures may no longer align interests around an efficient work-out.

Why Evenflow

Investment-management capability meets hands-on recovery execution.

The proposition brings together two complementary disciplines: the ability to assess and manage private-market exposures, and the ability to intervene in underlying assets to pursue recovery and realisation.

Active Management

More than a passive wind-down.

A discounted secondary sale or passive run-off may not suit every position. Depending on its condition and the available rights, an active work-out can assess several realisation pathways.

Restructure

Review investor-level costs and restructure the underlying business where needed.

Monetise & Exit

Identify buyers and pursue an organised sale process.

Break Up & Sell

Consider carve-outs or divestments where assets can be realised separately.

Acquire & Build

Evaluate complementary acquisitions and value-creation opportunities.

Hold & Wait

Maintain oversight while preparing for a later sale or refinancing.

Options depend on the underlying assets, legal rights, stakeholder approvals, applicable regulation and agreed mandate terms. No outcome or timetable is guaranteed.

Our Approach

From stranded positions to a disciplined work-out.

Each position is assessed on its own facts. The route is developed around underlying value, risk, control rights, stakeholder priorities and realisation options.

01

Target Stressed Situations

Identify stranded private equity or private credit positions where specialist intervention may be relevant.

02

Diligence & Risk Assessment

Assess value, downside, governance and control levers, and potential exit or recovery routes.

03

Appropriate Structure

Evaluate the investment-management and reporting arrangements appropriate to the position and mandate.

04

Active Execution

Pursue oversight, management intervention, restructuring, enforcement or recovery as appropriate.

05

Recovery & Realisation

Implement a work-out focused on recovering and realising value within the chosen route.

Ways to Engage

Different situations require different forms of intervention.

Engagements may begin with independent advice, require manager oversight or replacement, or call for hands-on control and recovery. The appropriate route depends on the position, the holder’s objectives and the available rights.

01

Financial Advisory

Independent review, diligence, valuation and planning for a liquidity or recovery outcome, with execution support where agreed.

02

Manager Supervision or Replacement

Oversight of reporting, voting and strategy, or a change of management where legal, regulatory and mandate terms permit.

03

CRO, Liquidation & Recovery

Operational and financial restructuring, interim leadership, enforcement and cross-border work-out execution.

Experience & Applications

Evidence of enforcement. A route for fund-life constraints.

Selected ADM Capital experience · Project DH

Preserving value through enforcement

Following default on a US$58m senior secured loan linked to the acquisition of a U.S. media/IP business, ADM Capital exercised creditor rights, appointed receivers over 93.7% of shares, replaced the boards and pursued a sale process managed by Lazard, resulting in a full exit.

End-of-life fund · Example of a potential route

Avoiding a forced sale of residual positions

Where a fund has reached the end of its term but holds illiquid, stressed or disputed residual assets, a possible route is to assess appropriate transfer or management arrangements and pursue a separate work-out and realisation plan for each position.

Illustrative potential route; the appropriate structure and outcomes depend on each position and agreed terms.
