SPECIAL SITUATIONS
MERCHANT BANK

  • Founded in 2010, Lantern is a special situations merchant banking firm with a unique and proven history. 

  • We have the capability to both invest capital and provide mission critical restructuring advice and asset management services to entire portfolios and individual companies.  

  • This unique combination drives our business while creating superior risk-adjusted returns for our investors.  

  • With a combination of our own discretionary capital and across our significant capital partner relationships, who share our understanding of distressed situations, we provide tailored solutions during critical times for asset managers and business owners.

  • Our business model does not require attempting to put a round peg in a square hole when broad restructuring expertise, flexibility, and dynamic solutions are vital to success.

  • Lantern was formed from a carve-out of a larger financial institution around a non-performing debt portfolio when our CEO Andy Mitchell had successfully deployed a similar strategy in leading a Global Special Assets Group during the great recession from 2007 to 2010.
