Trust The Process Venture Partners

The market inefficiencies we seek as a firm are exemplified in the market for financially distressed debt in which we have extensive experience. Our approach seeks to combine protection against loss, which generally comes from buying claims on assets at bargain prices, with the substantial gains achieved by returning companies to financial viability through restructuring. Directed by Francis Battista since the firms' inception, Trust The Process Venture Partners Distressed Debt team has invested successfully through several full cycles. Our team is comprised of professionals with diverse backgrounds in portfolio management, law, accounting, marketing, consulting, valuation and banking. They combine extensive experience in distressed bank debt, defaulted securities and bankruptcy situations with proven expertise in valuing companies and assets, negotiation and restructuring. We favor small to medium, fundamentally sound overleveraged companies and we often assume a leadership role in the financial restructuring process. We can invest at every level of the capital structure, securities, companies or hard assets, in "stressed" securities, and unusual instruments and special situations. We seek to avoid losses through an emphasis on secured or senior debt, an insistence on protection from an underlying asset or franchise values, and limited concentrations of positions. We Trust our investing Process, emphasizing the purchase of assets – or liens on assets – where we believe the relationship between risk and return is asymmetrical and where we believe relationships and a knowledge advantage can make a significant positive impact on our ability to successfully source, purchase, manage and exit investments.
