Continuation Funds to Zombie Funds: Insights on Distressed Alternative Assets

The following session took place during the 2026 ABI International Caribbean Insolvency Symposium in January 2026. This session will focus on the unique challenges presented by distressed private investment funds, with an emphasis on identifying fraud risk and managing funds approaching the end of their lifecycle. The panelists will discuss common fraud red flags encountered in distressed fund scenarios and the practical steps professionals can take to investigate, mitigate and respond to those risks. The panel also will explore strategies for handling “end of life” funds, including wind-down considerations, stakeholder communications and regulatory issues. Particular attention will be paid to Cayman Islands’ segregated portfolio company (SPC) structures, highlighting structural complexities and best practices for insolvency, restructuring and recovery efforts.
