Managing and exiting underperforming investments requires a specialized skill set and experience base to maximize value while minimizing trailing liabilities. GEMS conducts a diagnosis to identify the business issues that are creating “barriers to exit” and then executes on those actions that can, in a timely and cost-effective manner, best position the company on a path to liquidity.
Whether the required remedial actions relate to products, customers, markets, cost structure or leadership, GEMS has the experience and patience to set companies on the path to recovery and realization. Given the time values of financial and human capital, it may be in the best interest of GPs to outsource this function.
