YMC Capital
A private, independent
investment firm.
YMC Capital specializes in bespoke mandates, managed accounts, and ring-fenced strategies — our own, and those of sponsors who bring a strategy to our regulated Cayman platform. Our foremost emphasis is the preservation of capital.
Services
Five services.
One discipline.
We are built to be flexible. Clients come to us with stuck positions they need to dispose of for the tax loss, with strategies that need a regulated home, with businesses that need fresh operating leadership, or with capital that wants a segregated vehicle of its own.
The discipline holds across every engagement: capital preservation, institutional-grade infrastructure, and partners who do the work themselves.
Strategic Mandates
Bespoke workouts on stuck positions. Legacy LPs, defaulted credit, minority stakes nobody else will touch — including dollar disposals for tax-loss harvesting.
Fund Infrastructure
Sponsors bring the strategy. We provide the regulated Cayman vehicle. A whiskey fund, a niche credit sleeve, a sub-advised mandate.
Managed Accounts
Client-owned segregated vehicles with fund-quality governance. No commingling, full pass-through.
Turnaround & Operating Advisory
Board seats, interim management, CRO roles. For founders who are tired of running their own business.
Ring-fenced Strategies
House SPs under Nodal — credit, distressed, opportunistic, digital. Each is a segregated portfolio.
Strategies
What we do.
We manage a range of strategies that place a foremost emphasis on the preservation of capital while seeking attractive, uncorrelated returns. Each sits under the same regulated Cayman platform — ring-fenced, independently administered, independently audited.
Credit
High-quality credit in under-banked Asian markets. Fundamental underwriting, longstanding borrower relationships, security of principal.
Distressed & Special Situations
Non-performing assets, legacy positions, year-end tax-loss disposals — we’ll buy your dead positions for a dollar so you can crystallise the loss. Mandate by mandate.
Opportunistic / Bespoke
Market dislocations, corporate events and one-off structures where downside is understandable, structure is sensible and margin of safety is explicit.
Digital Assets
Directional Bitcoin with institutional-level yield enhancement. Conservative position management, no speculation.
Leadership
Leadership.
Two partners. Every mandate is run directly by one of us — no associates, no back-channels. Between us, decades in investment banking, distressed credit, fund management and digital assets.
