Eaton Partners, one of the largest placement agents and financial
advisory firms serving the financial sponsor community and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF), today
announced the expansion of its newly branded Private Capital
Advisory (“PCA”) business. PCA will be organized into four distinct
specialties – GP Solutions, LP Solutions, Direct Equity, and GP
Stakes – to provide financial sponsors and their investors with
differentiated strategic advice and liquidity solutions, in
combination with the broader Stifel Investment Banking platform.
Firm veterans Dexter Blake and Peter Martenson will lead the
team’s LP Solutions and Direct Equity specialties, respectively.
Charles Korchinski will spearhead the GP Stakes offering.
As part of this enhanced effort, Eaton Partners is pleased to
announce the hiring of experienced secondary transaction advisor
Dirk Jonske as Managing Director to spearhead the GP Solutions
specialty. Prior to joining Eaton Partners, Mr. Jonske was in
Credit Suisse’s Private Fund Group, where he was responsible for
the origination and evaluation of private equity primary,
secondary, and co-investment transactions with a focus on providing
strategic advice regarding continuation vehicles. Before joining
Credit Suisse, Mr. Jonske was an Executive Director in the Private
Fund Group at UBS and a Senior Associate on the Private Equity
Investment team at Landmark Partners.
Gabrielle Kim, Arielle Mandelbaum, and William Daniel, all
formerly of Credit Suisse, have also joined Eaton Partners as
Director, Vice President, and Analyst, respectively.
“The combination of Eaton Partners’ private capital advisory
expertise and Stifel’s leadership position in investment banking
underscores our commitment to serving financial sponsors with a
holistic suite of capabilities designed to best help them address
their evolving needs,” said Brad Raymond, Global Head of Investment
Banking at Stifel. “Together, we have a long history working with
general partners to design, structure, and execute successful
secondary transactions that provide both liquidity for limited
partners as well as new capital for sponsors.”
“Eaton Partners pioneered fund placement 40 years ago, and we
continue to set the tone for private capital market advisory,
execution, and support,” added Eric Deyle, Managing Director at
Eaton Partners. “The addition of these new colleagues to our
growing PCA team significantly enhances our ability to best serve
clients and be a value-added partner to the financial sponsor
community. I am thrilled to welcome them to the firm.”
A January 2023 Eaton Partners survey of top institutional
investors found that 70% had at least one-quarter of their current
funds’ invested capital earmarked to GP-led transactions.
“I am excited to join an experienced team with deep knowledge of
the private capital advisory market,” commented Mr. Jonske. “The
firm’s holistic approach to advising financial sponsors, its
successful track record, and access to Stifel’s full-service
investment bank, make joining Eaton Partners a compelling
opportunity.”
Eaton Partners, which provides leading fundraising, advisory,
and capital solutions capabilities as part of the investment
banking team at Stifel, offers investment managers direct access to
Stifel’s broader banking services, including over 600 professionals
across 24 offices. With deep experience in the secondaries market,
