Breakwall Capital Launches as Independent Asset Manager

Breakwall Capital LP, a credit investment firm that services the energy industry, has launched as an independent and employee-owned asset manager.

Breakwall is led by the co-founders of Riverstone Credit Partners, Christopher Abbate, Jamie Brodsky and Daniel Flannery, who have worked together for nearly two decades.

The team focuses on short duration, first lien senior secured loans to middle market and developing energy companies, having executed more than 60 transactions with approximately $5.3 billion in investments since 2014.

In launching as an independent firm with the same partnership team, Breakwall looks to continue assisting companies across the energy value chain in securing capital services.

“We look forward to collaborating with our former partners at Riverstone on a successful wind down of all the existing Riverstone Credit vehicles, while advancing our burgeoning partnership with Vitol through Valor Upstream Credit Partners, and in the very near term, launching our own Breakwall-branded funds,” noted Abbate, managing partner and co-CEO.

In addition to Breakwall’s New York and Newport, RI offices, the firm has a presence in Houston, with an office led by managing director, Walt Hughes.
