Edgar Matthews & Co. LLC (“Edgar Matthews”), a leading independent investment bank focused on the structured finance ecosystem, today announced that Jamie Showers has joined the firm as a Managing Director and Head of Syndicate & Sales. Mr. Showers will lead Edgar Matthews’ structured products syndicate and institutional investor coverage efforts, with a particular focus on insurance companies and other institutional investors across private structured credit and asset-based finance.

The appointment establishes a dedicated syndicate function within Edgar Matthews’ capital markets platform, further integrating the firm’s structuring capabilities with institutional distribution. Mr. Showers will work across the firm’s product suite, including rated feeder funds and CFOs, fund finance, private and broadly syndicated ABS, consumer and commercial asset securitizations, asset-based lending, and other bespoke structured credit solutions.

Mr. Showers brings more than 25 years of structured products and institutional sales experience to the firm, with a career spanning traditional and esoteric ABS, RMBS, CMBS, CLOs, private credit and asset-based finance. Most recently, he served as a Managing Director at Donovan & Co., where he focused on debt capital markets, asset-based finance, private credit and esoteric ABS. Previously, he held senior structured products sales roles at Cowen, Hunt Financial Securities and Stifel Nicolaus, and trading roles at HSBC Bank and BNP Paribas, developing relationships across a broad universe of institutional investors and alternative credit markets.

“The best capital markets advice is informed by a constant dialogue with the investors ultimately providing the capital,” said Matt Edgar, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Edgar Matthews & Co. “Jamie has spent a significant portion of his career engaging with investors and market participants to help serve as a solution provider. He brings deep relationships across the structured products market, a strong understanding of how institutional investors evaluate risk, and significant experience matching capital with complex and often highly specialized opportunities. His appointment strengthens our ability to bring real-time investor perspective into the structuring process and expands the universe of capital we can access on behalf of our clients.”

“There is a significant opportunity to connect institutional investors with the increasingly broad range of assets and financing structures being developed across private credit and specialty finance,” said Mr. Showers. “Edgar Matthews is originating and structuring transactions across a diverse set of markets, from rated fund structures and fund finance to consumer and commercial ABS. I’m excited to bring my experience and investor relationships to the platform, deepen the firm’s connectivity across the insurance and broader institutional market, and help build a distribution capability that can support clients across the full range of their capital needs.”

Mr. Showers’ appointment reflects Edgar Matthews’ continued investment in its structuring, capital markets and distribution capabilities as the firm expands its footprint across structured credit. The firm advises asset managers, specialty finance companies and other alternative credit platforms on transactions designed for insurance companies, asset managers, private credit funds and other institutional investors.
