Interesting question. Do you have a farm in the Ukraine you're trying to sell?
I am trying to build a skiing resort out in Montana, looking for angel investors.
Oh, got farms in northern Saskachawan I am trying to sell as well.
I wish I owned a farm in the Ukraine as it sounds like a fun venture.
I am assuming based on the tone of your responses that the answer to my question is a no.
Wouldn't this be considered REPE?
On the energy side I have seen some pe firms JV on projects
Your title is very misleading...
Distressed/special situations firms do invest in hard assets, sometimes directly but usually through debt equity swaps in the holding company or via foreclosures. Either way they would have acquired the debt in the first place and the hard assets serve as collateral on the debt.
In the example of Ukraine farms, presumably the investor bought debt of the farm owner who then proceed to default on the payments. Usually the creditor would sue the debtor in court in order to obtain judgments against the collateral assets. Not sure how feasible is straight up foreclosure in Ukraine but presumably both parties can work out some kind of agreement under which the ownership of the collateral is transfered to the creditor.
