Facing rising recovery costs and resource strain? Risk-free enforcement funding and strategic support can help you unlock value from distressed assets.

Financial institutions and clients with non-performing loans, judgments, and arbitration awards face increasingly high recovery costs and risk exposure, and significant resource allocation challenges.

Why Grant Thornton

Our asset recovery fund eliminates downside risk while retaining upside potential. With USD 1.3 billion funded under management, the asset recovery fund offers non-recourse funding for enforcement and related litigation, ensuring that you don't have to put good money after bad. This captive pool of capital leverages our global workout and asset recovery team's track record of success.

You can benefit from market-leading asset recovery and legal advice, and can develop and execute multi-jurisdictional asset recovery strategies. Our coordinated efforts span 145+ countries, leveraging the expertise of forensic accountants, digital forensic specialists, and corporate intelligence experts.

These options provide banks with the flexibility to choose the best approach for managing and recovering value from non-performing loans, supported by expert advice and collaboration between jurisdictions. By leveraging our fund, banks can convert their cost centres into profit centres, off-load the management time required to run a workout, and eliminate downside risk while retaining the upside potential.

Outright sale

Clients can opt for the outright sale of non-performing loans and claims  to Asset Recovery Fund LP on a ‘no-win no-fee’ basis. This option allows banks to transfer the cost and risk of recovery while retaining the potential for upside through back-end payments if recoveries exceed fund return thresholds.

Back-end payments

Where non-performing loans and claims are sold, the purchase price can be adjusted up via back-end payments if recoveries exceed fund return thresholds, ensuring clients benefit from successful recoveries.

Funding agreement

Alternatively, clients can sign a funding agreement to finance all costs and disbursements of a market-leading asset tracing and recovery exercise in return for a percentage of recoveries. This option provides comprehensive support for the recovery process, leveraging our expertise in multi-jurisdictional asset recovery.
