Professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) has expanded its asset-backed finance (ABF) offering within its global valuation services practice with the hiring of Lewis Tse as managing director.
As private credit markets evolve, ABF is emerging as a major growth area, driving demand for advanced, technology-enabled valuation and advisory services. “This market shift underscores the growing need for innovative technology solutions that enhance transparency, efficiency and accuracy across the ABF landscape,” Matthew Goldberg, managing director and leader of the firm’s U.S. Alternative Investment Services (AIS) practice, said. “Lewis’s deep expertise in asset-backed finance comes at a pivotal time as private credit structures become more creative while strategies expand aggressively.”
Tse will lead the ABF group in the United States. With more than 15 years of financial advisory and valuation experience, he will advise global asset managers, credit funds, insurance companies, banks and hedge funds on valuation and advisory services across structured credit and fund finance products.
“A&M’s global reputation for innovation, entrepreneurship and its integrated, end-to-end offering made joining the firm a natural fit,” Tse said. “Asset managers today need advisors who can deliver technology-enabled, rigorous valuation and advisory solutions. I’m excited to help clients navigate these complex valuation challenges.”
Tse will work closely with other leaders across the global valuations services platform, which has rapidly expanded throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
Before joining A&M, Tse was a director at Lincoln International, where he co-led the ABF group. Earlier in his career, he held senior roles at Houlihan Lokey and Red Pine Advisors, focusing on structured products.
