Alternative investment firm Investcorp has made four senior additions to its Strategic Capital Group (ISCG), with the goal to further strengthen its ability to support post-acquisition value creation and strategic growth across its portfolio of alternative asset managers.
Amir R Rezvani joins as Head of Middle East Coverage, based in the GCC region. Rezvani leads ISCG’s strategic initiatives and investor engagement across the region, drawing on his regional expertise and deep knowledge of the institutional landscape.
Prior to joining Investcorp, Rezvani was with Investindustrial in its Investor Relations & Syndication group, where he led fundraising efforts across EMEA and the Americas from London and New York. He was a PhD Fellow at Harvard Business School and holds a PhD in Economics from the University of St. Gallen and an MSc from Erasmus University Rotterdam.
Jon Hays joins as Head of Wealth Coverage. Based in New York, he will lead fundraising and distribution efforts for ISCG and its GPs within the private wealth channel. Prior to joining Investcorp, Hays was a founding member of the global investor relations team at Hunter Point Capital, where he served in a similar role marketing the firm’s GP stakes strategy and the strategies of its underlying GP partners.
He began his career at Goldman Sachs Ayco, where he held business development roles of increasing responsibility within the group’s multi-family office unit. Jon holds an MS in Business Analytics from Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Management and a BS from Pennsylvania Western University.
Svein Floden, also based in New York, joins as an Operating Partner to focus on designing innovative product and distribution strategies for ISCG’s GPs, with particular emphasis on the Wealth Management and Insurance channels.
Floden brings over two decades of experience in asset management and distribution. Prior to joining Investcorp, he served as Head of Intermediary Distribution at Insight Investment, a BNY Mellon affiliate, and held senior leadership roles at Deutsche Bank Asset and Wealth Management. Floden holds an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and a BA in Finance from the University of Maryland.
Lindsay Shagrin joins ISCG as a Vice President, based in New York. In her role, she will coordinate capital formation efforts with ISCG’s GPs, leveraging her deep relationships with North American institutional investors to enhance distribution strategies for ISCG GPs and the broader platform.
Prior to joining Investcorp, Shagrin was part of Blackstone’s Multi-Asset Investing group within the Institutional Client Solutions team. She holds a BS in Finance from Lehigh University.
These new appointments build on the continued growth of ISCG’s platform, following the addition of Jean Reynolds last year as Capital Formation Partner and Head of Consultant Coverage.
Investcorp’s Strategic Capital Group partners with mid-sized alternative asset managers by making minority equity investments and supporting their strategic growth through value-added operating capabilities.
