"As Co-Head of Credit Research, Tom has made a lasting impact on the fabric of the firm," says Bill Gurtin, CEO. "His commitment to maintaining a high bar for the credit quality of our clients' portfolios and ability to think in terms of relative value have greatly contributed toward our effective management of a growing suite of uniquely credit-driven municipal strategies. I'm proud to have him as a Partner and look forward to seeing the further evolution of our investment management with Tom serving as Co-Head of Portfolio Management and Co-Head of Credit Research."
