Financial Services

While there are many ways to succeed in the financial services industry, flawed business models, inadequate due diligence, or outright fraud can cause companies to stumble badly. Force 10 addresses the complex challenges that arise in financial services.

While the term “Financial Services” covers a lot of territory at its core the industry is focused on aggregating and directing capital to entities that need capital to grow and generate returns for investors. When financial services businesses encounter problems the underlying causes typically relate to that core principal of directing capital, even as recent developments in cryptocurrencies and the DeFi trend are creating new types of distress. With our decades of financial services experience and deep understanding of capital markets, we can speak the language, decipher the root causes of problems, and find the best way forward.

Asset Management Advisory Services – Separate from our work with distressed situations, when a fund is being investigated for a breach of fiduciary duties or violating the law Force 10 can be engaged to protect the fund’s investments. We serve as an independent, conflict-free, objective fiduciary to protect capital for limited partners and other investors.

Sub-sectors:

  • Lending
  • Leasing
  • Banking
  • Insurance
  • Diversified Financials
  • Venture Capital Management
  • Investment Funds
