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 where a different route may be required.

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

Forced-sale risk

Liquidity is required, but an immediate conventional disposal may crystallise avoidable losses or surrender remaining upside.

Market Context

Liquidity pressure is not isolated to a single fund or position.

The original Evenflow materials point to a broader APAC private-markets environment characterised by older holdings, constrained fundraising and slower distributions. These conditions increase the number of positions that may require a more active route to liquidity or recovery.

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.

Have a complex position to discuss?

Initial conversations can focus on the situation, constraints and desired outcome before any engagement is considered.
