PE Special Situations - Vice President / Director / Managing Director
Vice President / Director / Manging Director - Special Situations & Capital Recycling
Location: New York City
Employment Type: Full-Time
About Our Client
Our client is pioneering a new investment category called Capital Recycling, a strategy designed to unlock inefficiencies in global public markets and convert trapped capital into superior, high-growth assets. Today, more than $15 trillion of public-market capital is trading below intrinsic value, creating one of the largest arbitrage opportunities in modern finance.
With $500 million in AUM, our client acquires undervalued public companies trading at steep discounts to their net asset value. Instead of relying on leverage or operational turnarounds, they use their NASDAQ-listed equity, which is trading at a premium, as acquisition currency. This structural arbitrage creates immediate value by capturing the spread between discounted NAV and premium issuance.
Once control is established, the firm unlocks trapped value through structured divestitures of operating businesses, hard assets, intellectual property, and clean public shells. Proceeds are then reallocated into Bitcoin, an asset with a proven track record of asymmetric returns and institutional acceptance. This cycle: Acquire, Unlock, Reallocate is fast, repeatable, and scalable, compounding value without multi-year hold periods or complex restructurings.
Why This Matters
- Massive Opportunity: Over $15 trillion of capital is mispriced and underutilized.
- Speed & Scale: AI-driven sourcing enables high-volume acquisitions across sectors and geographies.
- Superior Asset Conversion: Bitcoin offers long term resilience and 30%+ historical CAGR.
- Category Leadership: Capital recycling is emerging as the next major investment strategy of the 2020s.
