MidOcean Partners announced that Jamil Nathoo is joining the firm as a Managing Director of MidOcean Credit. In this role, he will be responsible for expanding MidOcean’s institutional relationships and CLO platform. Mr. Nathoo recently served as Head of Collateralized Loan Obligation (“CLO”) and Asset-Backed Securities (“ABS”) Syndicate at Goldman Sachs, where he managed the global marketing and distribution process for CLO and ABS issuance.  Based in New York, he will report to Dana Carey, Chief Investment Officer of MidOcean Credit.

“Jamil is a well-recognized CLO executive whose significant experience marketing and syndicating CLOs, coupled with his deep industry relationships globally, will be a tremendous value-add as we continue to build upon our established track record of managing CLOs,” said Mr. Carey. “We are excited to welcome Jamil to our team as we seek to continue to structure and market transactions that can generate attractive returns for investors while mitigating downside credit risk.”

Nathoo added, “Since establishing its CLO platform nearly a decade ago, MidOcean has thoughtfully and strategically scaled the business, demonstrating the team’s long-term commitment to meeting the demands of its CLO investors. I am pleased to be joining MidOcean at this pivotal point in the firm’s evolution and at a time when the CLO asset class has proven its strength and resiliency.”

Nathoo brings more than 15 years of CLO market experience to MidOcean. Prior to Goldman Sachs, he served as Global Head of CLO Marketing and Syndication at BNP Paribas, where he helped to launch BNP Paribas’ CLO business and structured credit distribution platform. Earlier in his career, he served as a Vice President focused on structured products sales at Deutsche Bank. Mr. Nathoo earned a BA in Economics from the University of Western Ontario and an MBA in Finance and Marketing from HEC Paris.

The addition of Nathoo follows MidOcean’s receipt of a strategic, minority investment from Hunter Point Capital, an investment firm founded by Bennett Goodman and Avi Kalichstein, in late 2021 to position MidOcean for long-term growth and success.
