Warren Spector, Chairman of Balbec Capital, said, ”Balbec’s deep experience and extensive relationships in the consumer insolvency market have enabled us to generate stable and consistent returns for investors.” Mr. Spector adds, “We are delighted with the broad level of support for IGCF-III from existing and new investment partners, as we continue to expand and diversify our investor base.” New investors in IGCF-III include insurance companies, endowments, foundations, wealth managers, family offices and a sovereign wealth fund.
Balbec Capital invests globally in insolvency opportunities where the borrower or assets are subject to an insolvency proceeding, liquidation or other restructuring.
