dms Management Ltd.'s Distressed Funds Advisory Services Group is a leading advisor to distressed hedge funds. We advise or lead funds in turmoil. We operate quickly and decisively using a detailed three-stage approach, which includes: Situational Analysis, Strategic Planning and Strategy Implementation, that seeks to provide the foundation for a strong and sustained recovery, or efficient dissolution, if recovery is not viable.
Unlike conventional advisors, our teams have deep experience in the hedge fund industry and our success is based on our extensive financial and operations experience in investment companies. Our principals have been directly involved in large, complex and high-profile hedge fund distressed situations, including Long Term Capital, Beacon Hill, Wood River Partners, MotherRock, Northshore and Shetland Fund, among others. What differentiates our case management team is our level of investment company expertise, our credibility with regulators, and our willingness to take charge of the administration process, not merely observe and take record of it.
Our experience includes interim appointments as lead director to the boards of troubled funds where we have earned a reputation for protecting and maximizing investors’ interests, managing expectations, driving the process and delivering results. Our track record of helping funds stabilize, preventing crises, and initiating rapid progress lends credibility to the management's restructuring strategy. Our ability to identify and manage away from risk helps keep a fund’s credibility intact in troublesome conditions. In our experience, the selection of the right advisor can potentially save stakeholders millions of dollars.
