Jason Kezelman and Loren Sageser have joined Schroders Capital, the private markets division of asset management firm Schroders, according to a news release.
Both hires are effective immediately, and are new positions.
Kezelman was named head of U.S. private debt and credit alternatives sales. He will represent PDCA across U.S. markets and is responsible for developing and expanding new business opportunities with existing clients and prospects. He will report to Tiffani Potesta, head of U.S. client group, and he will be based in California.
Sageser joined the PDCA team as a senior product strategist. In this role he is expected to work closely with the investment and business development teams to deliver client communication and education for Schroders’ private debt and credit alternatives strategies. He will report to Nick Pont, head of global business development, PDCA and will be based in California.
“The U.S. market and client base are critically important to our PDCA business," said Michelle Russell-Dowe, co-head of PDCA at Schroders Capital, in a news release. "The appointment of Jason and Loren, two seasoned veterans with brilliant experience focused on credit and alternatives, is an important cornerstone to our development plans.”
Kezelman was managing director and strategy specialist in the client partnership group at TPG Angelo Gordon. Sageser was previously a managing director and product specialist at Nuveen, where he led a team focused on alternative credit.
Neither TPG Angelo Gordon nor Nuveen could be immediately reached for replacement information.
Schroders Capital has an estimated $94 billion in assets under management. Schroder’s private debt and alternative credit strategies merged onto a single platform in 2023.
