ADF Special Opportunities LP

A confluence of economic, regulatory and structural developments currently at work in Asia make the region exceptionally attractive for private equity investment. Present day Asia can be characterized by unprecedented economic growth, massive inefficiencies and most importantly, commitment to reform in key areas such as banking and law.

As the preeminent Asian distressed debt firm, 3 Degrees is ideally situated to capitalize on the growing number of investment opportunities in the region. Our approach merges traditional private equity with distressed investing. This has resulted in a unique style wherein control is attained through the purchase of secured debt, not equity.

We pursue a relatively broad mandate by investing in distressed debt, distressed real estate and a diverse range of companies experiencing financial or operational difficulty. Within this large universe, we focus on companies and assets that are fundamentally sound, yet overleveraged, overlooked and often in need of capable management.

We avoid widely publicized auctions in favor of individual assets and small portfolios that are sourced via our proprietary relationships. A majority of our investments are sourced from regional commercial banks, wherein the bank has either completed, or about to complete a foreclosure, but does not have the skills, resources or inclination to manage the asset. Our deal flow pipeline is robust and frequently inaccessible by conventional real estate and private equity investors.

Our investment process can be described as cautious, disciplined, and highly selective. Above all, we focus on preserving our investors’ capital.
