We pursue opportunities that provide the greatest return potential, while being less correlated and more insulated to volatility in the broader capital markets.

what we do

•Acquire assets, including distressed and/or difficult assets that require a significant amount of operational and financial expertise in order to generate a superior return;

•Drive value through years of combined experience in restructuring, workouts, and asset management in CEE, CIS, US and Western Europe;  and 

•Achieve superior returns through a higher level of expertise and active management.

target markets

We have over 3 decades of experience in Central and Eastern Europe.  Schottentor focuses on opportunities in the countries we know best and where there are still excellent value vs. risk trade-offs  – Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania and Hungary.

How WE are DIFFERENT

•An experienced regional management team with deep knowledge of the local CEE market and extensive experience in corporate restructuring and US models of value recovery

•Unlike the buy cheap/quick turn model of most retail loan buyers, we identify and restructure the hidden gems in a portfolio and use the value enhancement to dramatically improve overall returns

•Lean operation - we leverage the existing service infrastructure in the region on a project by project basis to avoid high fixed costs and offer greater flexibility

Our value proposition

Investments in distressed securities require active management, extensive monitoring and pro-active exit planning – Schottentor deploys its in-house management capabilities to generate superior returns from these nominally illiquid positions.
