September 21, 2023 – ArrowMark Partners announced today that Moritz Ruhdorfer joined the firm as a senior member of ArrowMark’s securitized credit investment team. Based in ArrowMark’s London office, Moritz will assist the team with origination, structuring, and execution for banks of significant risk transfer (“SRT”) investments, also known as regulatory capital relief transactions.
His experience and relationships 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.
Ruhdorfer brings over 12 years of knowledge and industry experience to the team. Most recently, Ruhdorfer was at Aon where he supported the development of Aon’s regulatory capital relief capabilities and origination. The majority of Ruhdorfer’s career was spent at Citigroup where he originated, structured, and distributed risk transfer trades, such as junior and mezzanine credit-linked notes and other credit derivatives aimed at achieving capital relief or risk relief for third party banks’ loan portfolios.
“With over a decade of experience in the asset class, we are thrilled to welcome Moritz to the team. His expertise in structuring and origination will be a valuable addition to the team’s current skill set. Moritz’s arrival underscores the firm’s ongoing dedication and forward 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 Kaelyn Abrell, Portfolio Manager at ArrowMark Partners.
ArrowMark has been one of the most active and consistent investors in the SRT market since the emergence of the asset class. Over the last 13 years, ArrowMark has invested in 93 distinct regulatory capital relief transactions representing approximately $6.9bn of investments.
