Independently owned global placement agent and advisory firm Atlantic-Pacific Capital has appointed Brian Wade as partner.
Wade will continue to work closely with institutional investors in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast US, including public and corporate pension plans, endowments, foundations, financial institutions, fund-of-funds and family offices.
Wade has over 15 years of experience in limited partner, general partner and third-party distribution roles during his alternative investment career. Prior to joining Atlantic-Pacific, he was a managing director in Credit Suisse Asset Management’s institutional distribution group. Before Credit Suisse, he was the director of investor relations at JLL Partners, a middle-market private equity firm. Previously, Wade worked at the Virginia Retirement System, where he was the director of private equity after beginning his alternative investment career at the New York State Common Retirement Fund.
“I am excited to join Atlantic-Pacific’s global independent platform and to contribute to its established and focused execution-oriented model. I have been particularly impressed with the firm’s track record, quality of mandates, and tenacity demonstrated by the partner team since the global financial crises,” says Wade.
Mark Bourgeois, chief executive and president, says: “I have worked with Brian in various capacities for over 13 years and believe that his prior experience as a limited partner and an investor relations professional complements our current strengths and will be a tremendous asset to our clients.”
