The Final Piece

When Funds Face Complex Closures, We Complete the Picture.

Overview

At Hilco Global, we specialize in helping funds, fiduciaries, and stakeholders bring closure to even the most complex end-of-life fund structures. When final distributions are held up, assets linger, or disputes stall resolution, we step in—not just to hold the pieces, but to complete the picture and solve the puzzle.

We know that end-of-fund phases are rarely a perfect fit. Closing out fund structures can be complex with lingering, burdensome administrative and operational obligations and long-tail or illiquid assets. That’s where our depth becomes your advantage. Don’t waste your time or resources on these troublesome pieces when you should be looking forward to the next opportunity. 

Hilco can provide creative solutions, providing value and closure. Our decades of experience in understanding value and disposition of excess assets allows us to offer a one stop solution to deal with long-tail or illiquid assets delaying the timely winddown of the fund. With decades of experience across asset classes, capital structures, and legal jurisdictions, Hilco delivers bespoke solutions that align strategically, execute cleanly, and hold up under scrutiny.

We’re not just another advisor—we’re a hands-on operator, investor, and problem-solver who thrives where value is hidden and closure feels elusive. Whether you’re navigating legacy positions, unresolved liabilities, distressed holdings, or governance issues, our team doesn’t just understand the puzzle. We know how to complete it—with clarity, speed, and lasting results.

When to Call Hilco Global

Trusted advisors in asset value and delivering certainty to close.

Fund Wind-Downs & Asset Wrap-Ups

  • We help funds close cleanly, resolving the final distributions, disposition of assets, or lingering obligations that prevent funds from being closed and capital returned. Whether it’s months or years past the harvest period, we bring clarity and finality.

Legacy Position Disposals

  • We acquire assets that are too illiquid, too messy, or too small for traditional secondary buyers. From stranded IP to loan books to overlooked balance sheet items, we turn tail-end friction into closure.

Tail-End Liquidity Needs

  • When funds are holding loans, receivables, or indemnity-backed escrows with years left to resolve, we step in to buy the exposure and assume the risk. Our creative structuring allows funds to exit now, not later, and avoid burdensome expenses.

Regulatory & Compliance Closure

  • From offshore blockers to end-of-life filings, we navigate the complexity behind dissolutions and compliance clean-up. Our team works hand-in-hand with legal counsel to clear the path to wind-down—accurately and efficiently.

These aren’t the only times to call Hilco Global, they’re simply the most common. When the final piece isn’t obvious, we know how to find it. Whether the challenge fits a familiar pattern or defies categorization, we bring the clarity, creativity, and closure your clients need.
