ASGARD Partners & Co (ASGARD) has appointed Andi Como as a managing director in the firm’s Capital Markets group.
Como, who will be based in New York, will focus on providing customised solutions to clients for acquisition finance, growth capital, and balance sheet recapitalisations.
Como has extensive experience in capital raising, relationship management, trading and portfolio management. He joins from the hedge fund coverage group at RBC Capital Markets, where he directed lending decisions to hedge funds and developed bespoke financing solutions to meet the sophisticated investment objectives of clients. Como was also responsible for managing RBC’s relationships with over 200 investment managers across North America.
“The proliferation of non-traditional capital providers has created significant opportunities to create fully customised financing solutions for our clients. To access this capital successfully, we need extensive industry relationships and deep market knowledge,” says Nicholas Desjardins, Partner and Head of Advisory Services. “Andi brings those qualities to our growing Capital Markets team with more than a decade of experience and is an excellent cultural fit with our integrated approach to client service.”
Como says: “I am delighted to join a Capital Markets group with the financing expertise, intellect, and transaction experience that ASGARD has established. I am honoured to join such a capable and dedicated team in helping purpose-driven organisations reach their highest potential. I look forward to working with my colleagues to build on the early success they have achieved to date and contribute to superior client service for which the firm is known.”
Andi received an MBA in Finance from the Yale School of Management and earned a BA in Economics from Middlebury College.
