Corporate insolvencies in the UK are at the highest levels in 14 years. For a myriad of reasons that we outline in this issue of Real Deals, the situation for UK businesses is likely to worsen in the coming months. But special situation GPs can help save the day. They dare to go where many other investors – both private equity and corporates – are afraid to. But the strategy is risky by its nature because it involves resuscitating businesses on the brink of collapse.

Also in this issue:

• Risk and reward: GPs discuss risk management in a volatile world
• Adapting to the dealmaking drought: How GPs are adapting their strategies to stay relevant
• Risky business: Managing portco-related reputational risks
• Fund Finance Tracker: Tracking the last six months in the fund finance space

All the above plus our regular Deals in Focus, Funds in Focus and more from the Real Deals team can be accessed via the links below or the e-reader opposite. Happy reading!
