Thesis
Cognis Capital LLP, established in 2003 and based in London, is an independent alternative asset manager focused on European markets. The firm's core strategies revolve around special situations, distressed debt, and event-driven credit, operating across the entire capital structure. Cognis Capital has a particular interest in special situations within later-stage venture capital, especially when management faces financial or strategic hurdles and founder/shareholder objectives conflict. In 2011, the Ffenics 1 Fund was launched for private equity-style special situations and illiquid credit. The team leverages extensive experience in investment, corporate finance, consulting, private equity, venture capital, and turnaround management. The firm operates as an Exempt Reporting Adviser (ERA) in the U.S.
