Investment History
Established in 2018, Titan's management team has been together for over two decades and has over 60 years of combined experience in distressed asset investing and are respected industry leaders.
​
Prior to Titan, the management team established, operated, and sold two consumer debt purchasing and collection companies: Worldwide Asset Purchasing and Galaxy Asset Purchasing.
-
Worldwide was founded in 2000 and quickly grew to one of the top 5 companies in the debt buying industry, spending an average of $150 million annually to purchase non-performing consumer obligations, and employing 900. The company was sold in 2004, returning over $150 million to the investor group.
-
Galaxy was formed in 2007 to purchase distressed commercial and consumer receivables in the U.S. and Mexico. The company quickly established a leading position in the market, employing 275. The company was successfully sold in 2018 and generated $70 million to the investors.
​
​
Most recently, Titan was engaged by an investor group to assume control of a failed specialty lending company. After taking inventory of the portfolio and assessing market value, Titan successfully liquidated over $250 million for the investors through a combination of asset sales and Titan's purchase of the residual assets.
