September 14, 2022 – ArrowMark Partners announced today that Alexis De Vrieze has joined the firm as a senior member of ArrowMark’s investment team. Based in ArrowMark’s London office, Alexis will assist the team with the sourcing, structuring, and oversight of significant risk transfer (“SRT”) investments, also known as regulatory capital relief transactions. His experience in the asset class will expand the diversity of the firm’s sourcing networks and the depth of the firm’s fundamental research capabilities to capitalize on the unique risk and return profile available in the SRT market.

working with Exotic Credit Derivatives.
“We are thrilled to welcome Alexis to the team. The relationships and structuring expertise he has developed throughout his career will strongly complement the skillset of the existing ArrowMark team. Alexis’ arrival reflects the firm’s continued commitment and momentum in the asset class, as well as a methodical approach to building a team to deliver the best investment outcomes for our clients,” said David Corkins, Co-Founding ArrowMark Partner.
