Octavian Advisors is an international special situations investor, focusing on distressed and event-driven opportunities predominately outside of the United States. The firm looks for opportunity among distressed situations, usually in debt securities or claims. They particularly seek situations where there is a catalyst or event, such as a bankruptcy, reorganization or material asset sale that will crystallize value and re-rate the relevant securities. Octavian Advisors believes that distressed opportunities outside the US can be particularly compelling because of additional layers of complexity, the need for strong local relationships and typically less developed and deep debt capital markets. The firm is attracted to event-driven situations where a catalyst to realize value exists in the form of a corporate event such as a merger, acquisition, recapitalization, spin-off or divestiture, or where there is an extraneous overhang such as litigation or regulation, or where a corporate structure such as a holding company causes significant mispricings of underlying assets. They believe the event-driven markets outside the US are far less efficient and commoditized and seek to deploy capital accordingly. In addition, Octavian Advisor may, at times, take an activist approach to their investments.
