Situations

When value becomes stranded.

A private-market position can retain meaningful underlying value even when the original route to exit, liquidity or recovery is no longer working.

Buying Situations

Six situations that call for a different route.

01

Delayed exits

The underlying position still has value, but the expected exit has moved materially beyond the original investment horizon.

02

End-of-life funds

A vehicle needs to wind down while residual positions remain too valuable, complex or illiquid for a simple disposal.

03

Manager capacity

A remaining position has become too resource-intensive, operationally complex or specialised for the incumbent team.

04

Misaligned interests

Economics, governance, resourcing or stakeholder priorities are no longer aligned around the desired outcome.

05

Distressed assets

The underlying business requires specialist restructuring, turnaround, enforcement or recovery capability.

06

Push an outcome

A holder may want a new manager to execute a prescribed or forced exit route when the incumbent arrangement is no longer delivering the required outcome.

As DPI realisation stalls across private markets, Evenflow is built for situations where holders need an alternative route to liquidity, recovery or realisation — without defaulting to a forced sale or heavily discounted exit.

Market Context

A structural liquidity problem, not an isolated position.

Across APAC private markets, older holdings, underperforming legacy investments, constrained fundraising, slower distributions and bank-dominated credit markets are reducing conventional exit options and increasing pressure on residual positions.

+18% Exit pressure. APAC portfolio companies held for more than five years increased 18% in 2025 versus 2024.
>1/3 Legacy underperformance. More than one-third of investments made during 2020–2022 were reported as underperforming.
US$58bn Fundraising constraint. APAC private-equity fundraising fell to a 12-year low in 2025, excluding RMB-denominated vehicles.
18.5% Distribution pressure. APAC PE’s 12-month distribution yield recovered by end-2025 but remained below the long-run average.
79% Structural funding gap. Banks account for roughly 79% of APAC credit supply, compared with 33% in the US and 56% in Europe.

Who It Is For

Built for holders managing complexity, not simply illiquidity.

Evenflow is relevant to LPs, GPs, fund-of-funds and other institutional holders of APAC private equity or private credit positions where the original ownership, management or exit path is no longer sufficient.

  • Limited Partners seeking a practical route to liquidity or fund closure
  • General Partners managing residual positions beyond the expected fund life
  • Funds or holders dealing with stressed or operationally complex assets
  • Stakeholders who require specialist control, restructuring or recovery capability

The Question

Does value remain, even though the original route no longer works?

If the answer is yes, the first step is not to assume a forced sale or a passive wind-down. It is to assess the remaining value, constraints, control levers and available routes.
