FocusPoint Private Capital Group announced that Russell Boggess has joined the firm as Managing Director in its New York office. Boggess will assume responsibility for coverage in North America.

Boggess is an experienced marketer with significant experience raising funds for private equity, real estate and hedge fund strategies. Most recently, Boggess ran his own consulting firm which advised a number of private equity, private credit and hedge funds on business development and was affiliated with R6 Capital. Before then, Boggess was Director of Marketing for two New York based hedge funds: Kingdon Capital Management and Sandell Asset Management in New York.

Boggess successfully raised capital for private fund strategies including buyouts, venture and specialty finance. "Russell combines senior-level experience with a strong track record of a deep understanding of the private fund business and outstanding relationships with experienced investors," said FPCG's Chief Executive David Conrod. Conrod added, "Russell's expertise brings immediate relationships and strategically expands our Midwest coverage, to capitalize on increased alternative investment allocations from that region."

Commenting on synergies of FPCG's market initiatives in the Midwest, Boggess said, "FocusPoint has a deep expertise in private markets and a robust product offering that institutional investors find highly compelling. The firm has a proven record of executing significant capital raises for established investment firms and selectively, spin-outs and emerging firms with unique strategies. In addition, FocusPoint has helped firms strengthen their investor base by helping identify and market specifically to underrepresented and new investor constituencies not met in previous capital raising efforts."

FocusPoint Private Capital Group is an independent capital raising firm specializing in private capital markets and wholly owned by LANDC Investment LLC.
