Loop Capital Acquires Smith Graham Investment Advisors’ Fixed Income Assets

CHICAGO, November 2, 2022 – Loop Capital, LLC today announced its acquisition of Smith Graham & Co. Investment Advisors’ (“Smith Graham”) fixed income investment management assets effective November 1, 2022.

The transaction with Smith Graham is Loop Capital’s second in the asset management space, having acquired the U.S. fixed income business from the BMO Global Asset Management earlier in the year.

“At Loop Capital, we view market volatility as an attractive opportunity to increase the number of solutions we offer our clients and partners.” said Jim Reynolds, Chairman and CEO of Loop Capital.  “Asset management is a strategic growth engine for Loop, and this transaction increases our scale, while also enhancing the fixed income solutions, particularly in the area of liquidity solutions,” said Reynolds.  Gerald Smith, Chairman of Smith Graham added, “The combination of our two asset management teams creates a tier-one fixed income solutions provider, managing assets across the entire fixed income spectrum– from cash management to LDI strategies.”

As Loop Capital looks to its future in asset management, the company does not rule out further engagement with external talent, despite the volatile markets. Scott Kimball, CIO of LCAM added, “For our team, Loop Capital provides us with an entrepreneurial partner whose investment into asset management is just ramping up at a time many are looking to scale back.”  Adam Phillips, Head of Business Development for LCAM concurred, “In markets like the one we’re currently experiencing, a growth mindset is critical as we continue to invest in our team and extend our investment process into new and exciting strategies and vehicles.”
