Bluestone Capital specializes in distress asset management and focuses on disciplines that revolve around this niche market.
An Investment Path Less Travelled: Our experience in distress assets began in 2010 as appointed liquidators for a non-operational mutual fund. Our task was to generate cash through recoveries and help trapped unit holders exit with their maximum principal intact. After successfully completing this project we realized that defaulted assets are a real asset class with a potential for trading gains.
Subsequently after many years of successes in this field we decided to consolidate are experiences to launch Bluestone Capital, a specialty distress asset firm. Our boutique firm serves as market makers, advisors and as recovery agents for corporate bonds, COIs, LoPs and Non-Performing Loans.
In addition, we advise financial institutions, specifically NBFCs, on matters relating to balance sheet strengthening, mergers & acquisitions.
