The Firm
Where execution is uncertain, assets price below fair value.
Klingspor Partners closes the gap
Position
The firm commits its own capital — taking title and holding the risk it prices. Where a client holds the position, it advises.
Presence
Working offices in Houston and Caracas. Structuring, finance, and logistics run from where the counterparties sit.
Conduct
A U.S. company operating under U.S. law, with standing sanctions counsel and diligence protocols on every transaction.
Practices
Trading & Offtake
Physical crude and products. The firm buys the cargo — financed, shipped, and placed with refiners on three continents.
Upstream
Deal origination. The firm identifies and structures upstream entry for operating partners — positions reached before they come to market.
Special Situations
Instruments, obligations, and assets priced for their circumstances rather than their value. The firm cleans them up, resolves them, and monetizes.
