I am always looking for new and interesting topics to share with my network of family offices. During Freedom Capital Markets' Summer Family Office Summit last week, one of our panels was on: ♟️ Opportunities for Investing in Turnaround & Distressed Assets During this discussion, our panel dug deep into the complex—but potentially rewarding—world of distressed and special situation investing. From operational turnarounds to distressed M&A and asset recovery strategies, these industry veterans shared how they uncover value in chaos—and what investors need to get right when navigating high-risk environments. Led by moderator Ron Senatore of Insperity (which was also a conference sponsor), the conversation featured sharp insights from: 🔹 Aaron Manoucheri – Co-founder and COO of Manoucheri Brokers, LLC 🔹 Jeff Sands, CTP – Founding Partner, Dorset Partners; Senior Advisor, American Industrial Acquisition Corporation Not for the faint of heart, but for those with the expertise and the willingness to go all in on the operational front, there are potential investment opportunities to be found.
