Structured Capital in Focus with Strategic Value Partners’ Brian Himot
About this episode
In this episode, partner and Private Funds co-head Howard Beber takes the host seat in a dynamic conversation with Brian Himot, head of structured capital at Strategic Value Partners (SVP). With more than $22 billion in assets under management, SVP is a leading global alternative investment firm focused on private credit, private equity and event-driven opportunities.
Brian shares his path from tax lawyer to building SVP’s structured capital platform, where his team delivers flexible, tailored financing solutions for founder-led and sponsor-backed businesses. Together, he and Howard dive into the nuances of hybrid capital, weigh the advantages of sponsor vs. non-sponsor deals, and discuss why aligning with business owners on long-term growth is essential. They also explore how market volatility and shifting global dynamics are influencing deal flow, and what the next five years could bring for structured capital.
