Workout, recovery and value-preservation strategies for stressed assets.
Distressed asset management is the workout and recovery of underperforming or non-performing assets to stabilise, recover or realise value. Matchpoint advises owners and lenders on stressed and distressed assets.
As part of our Debt practice, Matchpoint Partners has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions across four continents — and every debt mandate is led by a partner, from first call to close.
Distressed asset management is the active workout and recovery of underperforming or non-performing assets to stabilise, recover or realise value. Matchpoint Partners advises both owners protecting value and lenders seeking recovery — through stabilisation, restructuring, refinancing or disposal — with a clear, commercially-driven strategy.

Active management of underperforming assets to stabilise, recover or realise value.
Both — we advise owners protecting value and lenders seeking recovery.
Options range from operational stabilisation and cost restructuring, through renegotiating or refinancing the debt, to recapitalisation with new money or a managed disposal. The right route depends on whether the underperformance is operational, structural or financial — a workout plan typically sequences several of these measures together.
As early as possible — ideally when covenant pressure or liquidity strain first appears, not after default. Early engagement preserves options, keeps lender discussions constructive and allows value-preserving measures to be implemented from a position of relative strength. The later the start, the fewer the available outcomes.
No. Many workouts conclude with the asset stabilised, the debt restructured or refinanced, and the owner retaining it. A sale is one route to recovery, used where new capital cannot restore viability or where disposal delivers the best outcome for stakeholders. The plan is built around value, not a forced exit.
Matchpoint originates senior, mezzanine, hybrid and structured debt from regional banks, international lenders and private credit funds, structured around your transaction. Tickets range from USD 10m to USD 500m+.
Private credit is non-bank lending from specialist funds, typically senior or unitranche, offering speed and flexibility. We maintain relationships with private credit funds active in the GCC and India.
Yes. We structure Sukuk and Shariah-compliant private credit, including blended structures pairing a Sukuk tranche with conventional debt.
Matchpoint works primarily on a success fee, with a modest retainer to cover execution. Fees are agreed in writing up front and scaled to the size and complexity of the transaction — with no hidden costs.
Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30–90 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.
