Amherst Pierpont Securities, an independent fixed-income broker-dealer, appointed Adam Schwartz to managing director and head of the firm’s structured credit business. Schwartz, who joined the company on June 21, will continue to advance Amherst Pierpont’s strategic initiatives in the collateralized loan obligation and structured credit markets.
Schwartz has more than 15 years of industry experience originating, structuring, marketing and executing a range of transactions across a scope of CLOs and other structured credit products. Prior to joining Amherst Pierpont, Schwartz held senior banking, structuring and origination roles in credit structuring at Morgan Stanley and BNP Paribas.
Schwartz will lead Amherst Pierpont’s existing structured credit team in both primary issuance and secondary trading as the firm continues to expand upon its fixed-income and structured product offerings to serve its client base.
“Adam is a highly talented leader and we are thrilled to welcome him to our team. His strong reputation, demonstrated expertise and extensive relationships within structured credit will be invaluable to our CLO related efforts,” Joe Walsh, CEO of Amherst Pierpont, said. “We look forward to leveraging his broad range of industry experience and insights as we continue to expand Amherst Pierpont’s CLO platform and elevate our capabilities for our clients.”
“I’m excited to join Amherst Pierpont’s talented team and look forward to expanding our structured credit and CLO services with my new colleagues,” Schwartz said. “Today’s dynamic credit and loan market presents many opportunities for growth and strong client connections. I believe Amherst Pierpont is well positioned to capitalize on this opportunity and successfully execute on significant transactions for new and existing clients.”
