Special Situations

KNG's Special Situations desk operates a situation to client model in following the asset characteristics in identifying the needs to the client, and preparing the best strategy for each asset in its own merits.

At KNG, we provide institutional investors and credit originators with tailored solutions across the spectrum of special situations and complex credit opportunities. Our focus spans corporate restructurings, distressed & stressed credit, event-driven scenarios, and transitional capital needs—where conventional strategies often fall short.

Our team works at the intersection of advisory and execution, supporting alternative lenders and primary deal originators with actionable insights and access to liquidity across the capital structure. Whether navigating balance sheet repositioning, bespoke refinancing, or secondary sales in thinly traded markets, KNG offers a full-service platform that integrates strategic advice with trading capabilities.

We bring deep expertise in underwriting, credit structuring, and legal risk assessment—gained from years at leading investment banks, alternative asset managers, and advisory firms throughout EMEA. This cross-functional perspective enables us to evaluate opportunities from every angle, ensuring that both buyers and sellers of complex credit instruments are equipped to transact with confidence.

KNG’s proprietary pricing capabilities and extensive buy-side and sell-side relationships allow us to source, structure, and place assets across a broad range of credit situations. Our access to private and off-market deal flow, combined with disciplined due diligence, provides clients with differentiated opportunities often overlooked in more efficient markets.

For alternative lenders, we support asset acquisition, portfolio repositioning, and capital deployment across distressed, non-performing, and special situation assets. For primary deal originators, we assist in syndication strategies, tranche placements, and investor targeting—particularly for bespoke or non-rated deals requiring tailored distribution.

At KNG, we deliver more than just access—we offer clarity, execution, and strategic alignment in some of the most complex corners of the credit markets:

• Direct Lending & Private Credit

• Legal Assets

• Claims Trading

• Loan Trading

The Special Sits team ensures that each investment aligns with the specific financial goals and risk profiles of our clients.

Our established processes and rigorous due diligence provide the foundation for performance-driven outcomes.

Our commitment to disciplined risk management and innovative structuring enables us to navigate challenges and capitalize on emerging opportunities effectively.
