GCM Grosvenor, a global alternative asset management firm with more than USD50 billion of assets under management, has appointed Matthew Rinklin as Managing Director.
Rinklin joins GCM Grosvenor from Oaktree Capital Management and will be responsible for executing the firm’s Labour Impact Infrastructure investing strategy. Labour Impact Infrastructure investing is investment in infrastructure that relies on a collaboration with union labour to unlock infrastructure opportunities and generate high quality risk-adjusted returns, while creating an enduring positive impact on organised labour.
“Matt is widely respected in the infrastructure investing space and shares our firm’s vision for impact infrastructure investing in partnership with organised labour,” says Michael Sacks, Chairman and CEO of GCM Grosvenor. “Our Labour Impact strategy is an important growth area for our firm and is designed as a better way to execute infrastructure investing and have a positive effect on the labour community. We could not be happier to add someone of Matt’s calibre and experience to the team.”
Rinklin brings extensive infrastructure investing expertise, most recently serving as Senior Vice President at Oaktree Capital Management. While at Oaktree, he was responsible for originating, executing and managing infrastructure investments. Previously, he was Vice President at Highstar Capital where he focused on investment opportunities in the energy, transportation and environmental services sectors. Over the course of his career, Rinklin has managed numerous investments that leveraged the benefits provided by unionised workforces, such as enhanced training, technical expertise and sound safety standards. In addition, he served on the boards of directors of private and public companies. Rinklin holds a BA in Economics from the University of Chicago.
