Investing in Distressed Credit Secured by Hard Assets

Headquartered in Hong Kong with team members in Chicago, Harbin and Shanghai. Jade Gate is derived from the Chinese name for the Jade Gate Frontier Post (玉门关), the primary link between what was then referred to as “The Western Regions” (西域) and “The Middle Kingdom,” or China (中国). Built over two thousand years ago, it served as the primary conduit for communication and commerce between East and West via the Silk Road. Like the original Jade Gate, our firm bridges East and West through a combination of international management, investment professionalism, and local expertise.

We focus on distressed credit, bank capital relief transactions, dislocation opportunities, repositioning projects, and the corresponding underlying real estate. The value creation process involves several discrete areas, such as untangling complex capital structures, arbitraging the cost of capital between a bank’s regulatory cost of equity and Investor’s, and deploying our extensive hard asset real estate expertise.
