Muzinich & Co has appointed five investment professionals, as the firm continues to deepen its investment capabilities within corporate credit. 

Brian Nold, formerly a Founding Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Column Park Asset Management, will focus on multi-asset credit portfolios. “I am looking forward to working closely with Michael McEachern, Co-Head of Public Markets and the investment team on enhancing our multi-asset credit offering, while contributing to the development of higher-return investment strategies,” says Nold. 

Muzinich has also hired John Colantuoni and Eric Schure who have joined as Senior Credit Analysts and will be based in New York, along with Brian Nold. 

“These appointments reflect Muzinich’s ongoing commitment to robust fundamental credit analysis”, says Michael McEachern, Co-Head of Public Markets. “We believe this is a key long-term driver of risk-adjusted returns for our clients, while seeking to preserve capital.” 

Meanwhile, in London, Lauri Lutsar has joined as Senior Credit Analyst and Peter Wild as Credit Analyst.  

“Our research capabilities are a key differentiator that sets us apart from our peers,” adds Tatjana Greil-Castro, Co-Head of Public Markets. “We place as much emphasis on analysing investment grade companies as we do on high yield, enabling us to identify what we believe to be attractive investment opportunities across the credit spectrum.”
