YMC Capital
The firm you call when capital gets stuck —
and when it needs a home.
YMC runs workouts on stuck positions, provides regulated fund infrastructure for sponsors, manages segregated accounts, takes operating mandates, and administers offshore companies. Two partners. An institutional stack. Discretion by design.
What we do
Five doors into one firm.
Clients come to us with a position that has stopped moving, a strategy that needs a regulated home, capital that wants its own vehicle, a business that needs operating leadership, or a company that needs administering. The discipline is the same behind every door: capital preservation, institutional infrastructure, and partners who do the work themselves.
Strategic Mandates
Bespoke workouts on stuck positions — legacy LP interests, defaulted credit, minority stakes nobody else will touch, dollar disposals for the tax loss.
How mandates workFund Infrastructure
Sponsors bring the strategy; we provide the regulated Cayman vehicle, launched in weeks — not the six-plus months a standalone fund takes.
The platformManaged Accounts
Client-owned segregated vehicles with fund-quality governance. No commingling, direct partner coverage.
How accounts workOperating Advisory
Board seats, interim management, CRO roles. For businesses that need more than capital — from people who have run one.
Operating workCorporate Services
Marshall Islands incorporations, registered agent work, and corporate secretarial administration on our own platform.
Corporate servicesStrategies
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
Long-term Bitcoin accumulation funded by conservative stablecoin income. No leverage, no derivatives, 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.

Infrastructure
The firm is small. The stack is not.
BVI Approved Manager. Cayman SPC. Independent administration and audit. And a platform we built ourselves — data rooms, e-signing, KYC and reporting — that most firms our size rent, badly.
Nodal SPC
Cayman Islands Segregated Portfolio Company. Full legal ring-fencing between portfolios — assets, liabilities and NAV are strictly separate by design.
Client Portal
Our own platform: documents, data rooms, electronic signing and KYC in one private login — built and run in-house.
Institutional Custody
Assets held with established institutional custodians. Independent safekeeping, daily transparency, segregated accounts.
Independent Admin
Third-party fund administrator for NAV calculation, investor services and independent annual audit.
If you are looking at a stuck position — tell us.
No pitch. No fund subscription. A short confidential form, a private reply from a named partner within 24 hours, and an honest view on whether we can help. Some positions are worth nothing — we will say so. If we can help, we stay with it until it is resolved.
You will not find client names, deal figures, or performance marketing on this site. That is deliberate. Specifics are discussed with principals, under NDA.
