Oak Point is a private investment firm that specializes in the acquisition of non-operating, underperforming, and residual assets from both distressed entities and active companies. Its “Remnant Asset” acquisition model was created to meet the needs of commercial bankruptcy estate representatives who have a fiduciary duty to administer the assets of the estate for the benefit of creditors. Bankruptcy professionals and courts now consider a sale of Remnant Assets to be commonplace in the administration of bankruptcy cases.

Over the past several years, the Remnant Asset acquisition model gained traction outside of distressed markets. Our model benefits active and healthy corporations that accumulate non-core assets. These companies often lack the resources to monetize these assets efficiently. With tightening capital access and increasing transparency mandates, divesting Remnant Assets reduces accounting and disclosure burdens.

For Oak Point, the demographics of a Remnant Asset seller are the same regardless of whether the seller is in a distressed situation, like bankruptcy, or is an active company.  A typical seller is or was a large company with a long operating history and numerous locations and/or was highly acquisitive.

Oak Point is and has always been an asset buyer. Oak Point unconditionally acquires full rights, title, and interest in the assets specified in each agreement. Our transactions involve sophisticated parties with legal counsel, subject to extensive negotiation and review. Pre-acquisition diligence confirms each party's authority and active status, while post-acquisition efforts document the seller's corporate history to establish chain of title. This thorough diligence allows us to locate, recover, and monetize potential assets effectively.

Over the past two decades, we have purchased these assets from over 2,000 companies and have created significant value across hundreds of thousands of transactions and hundreds of millions of data points.
