Monomoy Capital Partners, a New York private equity fund focused on value investing and business improvement in the middle market, announced that Jordan Matusow has joined the firm. Matusow will focus on sourcing Monomoy’s investments in the debt securities of distressed and underperforming businesses that can benefit from operational, financial and strategic improvement.

Matusow, who has more than 10 years of broad experience in financial services and the capital markets, joins from Nomura Securities, where he was an executive director of its credit sales group focused on a wide range of products, including distressed debt. Previously, Matusow was an executive director at UBS Securities in credit sales and debt capital markets. He began his career as a corporate attorney at Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jordan to the Monomoy team,” said Justin Hillenbrand, a founding partner of Monomoy. “We believe that the next business cycle will provide attractive opportunities to acquire underperforming middle market businesses through their debt securities, and Jordan’s experience and relationships will position Monomoy for continued success in the firm’s core investment program.”
