Distressed Asset Investing: The New Frontier of Profitable Opportunities

In recent years, the Indian market has witnessed an upsurge in distressed asset investments. With the introduction of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) in 2016, the Indian market saw a shift in the way distressed assets were handled. The IBC has created a legal framework that allows insolvency professionals to resolve the corporate insolvency resolution process in a timely manner. This has led to an increase in distressed asset investment opportunities in India. The Indian market has seen a growing number of distressed asset investors in recent years. With the introduction of the IBC, investors are now able to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities in the distressed asset domain. Given that the legal framework establishes a defined set of guidelines for the sale of these assets, the IBC has made it simpler for investors to invest in these assets. Distressed asset investments offer a number of benefits to investors. These investments [TK1] [KK2] can help diversify a portfolio by providing exposure to a different asset class that has the potential to outperform other fixed-income assets in the portfolio. Because distressed asset investments are issued by companies that are experiencing financial difficulty, they can offer higher yields than other investment classes which can provide a source of income for investors. Additionally, because the performance of distressed assets is often uncorrelated with the performance of other assets in a portfolio, they can help to reduce overall portfolio volatility.

Distressed finance refers to the practice of providing financial support to companies that are facing financial difficulties, such as bankruptcy or near insolvency. For the investors willing to participate in this market, it has the potential to generate large profits.

One of the main drivers of the growing market for distressed asset investment in India is the country's struggling economy. In recent years, India's economy has been hit hard by a number of factors, including slowing growth, rising inflation, and a high level of government debt. As a result, many companies are struggling to stay afloat, and are in need of financial support to continue operating.  

This has created a significant opportunity for investors who are willing to take exposure in these distressed finance opportunities. By providing financial support to struggling companies, investors can help them to stay afloat and potentially turn their fortunes around. In return, they can earn significant returns if the company is able to recover and become profitable once again.

One of the ways that investors can participate in the distressed finance market in India is through Distressed Financing Bonds. This type of bond offers more returns than those of typical corporate bonds but with a low level of risk. One of the key features of these bonds is that they have super seniority status. This means that in the event of acquisition by a third party or liquidation of assets, these bonds will be paid out before any other financial or operational creditors. This makes them an attractive investment avenue for investors who are looking for a low-risk and super-senior way to earn lucrative returns.

Another way for investors to participate in the distressed finance market in India is through the purchase of equity in struggling companies. This can be a riskier investment, as the company may not be able to recover and become profitable. Typically, these investments require a huge quantum of cash. However, if the company does manage to turn its fortunes around, investors can earn significant returns on their investments.

The market for distressed finance in India is expected to continue growing in the coming years. As more companies struggle to stay afloat in the face of a challenging economy, there will be increasing opportunities for investors to provide the financial support that they need. With the right approach and a willingness to take on risk[TK3] , investors can potentially earn significant returns from the growing market for distressed finance in India.

All of it is seeming like the investor is purchasing a distressed real estate property not interim finance. Try to phrase these benefits keeping interim finance in mind, you can take hint from the mail that we have drafted [TK1]

Explain how investors can enter this market through our bonds and how these bonds are super senior and very lucrative opportunity in the fixed income domain [TK3]

Investments in a new way - Alternative Investment Funds (AIF)

Image
An Alternative Investment Fund or AIF is an investment vehicle that privately pools investments from sophisticated investors, whether Indian or foreign, for investing according to a defined investment policy for the benefit of its investors. These funds are typically used by high-net-worth individuals and organisations since, unlike Mutual Funds, they require a sizable initial investment. AIF as a fund, is typically established or incorporated in India in the form of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) or Company or Trust or Body Corporate.[1] Incorporated in 2012 by the Securities and Exchange board of India, the market regulator's intent was to make equity markets more sophisticated for investors with a massive volume of wealth and distinct goals from the average Indian investor. Investors are cautioned not to confuse AIFs with the following financial instruments: Mutual funds, Collective investment schemes, Employee Stock Options Trusts, Employee welfare trusts or gratuit...

A brief overview - Litigation Funding

Image
“Litigation funding allows lawsuits to be decided on their merits, and not based on which party has deeper pockets or stronger appetite for protracted litigation”   Bond and stock markets both witnessed bull runs from 1980 to 2021, resulting in higher returns for investors. These strong returns have made equity valuations at historically high levels and bond yields at historically low levels, implying that expected returns are currently lower than their historical averages. As a result, the current situation presents difficulties for conventional portfolios, such as a "balanced" 60 per cent equity/40 per cent bond portfolio.   This has caused numerous investors, both institutional and retail, to search for a variety of alternative investments , each with its own set of risks and returns. As a result, they have dramatically increased their allocations to alternative investments, which have significantly less exposure to the economic cycle risk of stocks and bonds as well a...

Assignment of NRRAs under Regulation 37A

Image
On 13 th November 2020, Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (“ IBBI ”) issued the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Liquidation Process) (Fourth Amendment) Regulations, 2020. One of the major purposes, for which this amendment was brought in was to ease the process of sale of liquidation assets. As we all are aware that realization  of some assets (such as continent claims, disputed receivables, disputed assets, refund from government etc.) have been an uphill task for any liquidator. Since realization  of these assets may take quite some time, they are referred in these regulations as ‘Not Readily Realizable  Asset’ or NRRA, which term has been introduced by inserting Regulation 37A. There is always a sense of urgency in a liquidation process and liquidator tries to ensure that the creditors of corporate debtors are able to realize maximum value of the assets of corporate debtor. However, these NRRAs create a sort of hurdle in this urgent process. Regul...
