Antares Capital Hires for Private Wealth Strategy

Antares Capital, a Chicago-based alternative asset manager with $67 billion in assets under management and administration, hired Jack Snyder as managing director, head of U.S. Wealth Distribution.

Reporting to head of asset management Vivek Mathew, Snyder will oversee the launch of Antares’ private wealth strategy. Based in New York, he will be responsible for increasing the firm’s assets through the development of wealth channel relationships.

“Private wealth is an important driver of our growth strategy, and Jack’s addition will be critical in meeting the demand for alternative credit solutions in the private wealth channel,” said Mathew.

Snyder has over 20 years of alternatives distribution and wealth management experience, working in wirehouse, IBD, RIA and private bank channels. Previously, he was managing director, national sales manager for wirehouse and RIA channels and head of retail alternatives sales for First Eagle Investments. Prior to that, he was managing director, East regional manager, global private client group for Nuveen Investments.

“The U.S. wealth channel represents a vast market opportunity for alternative credit, which is why I’m excited to join Antares and build out their wealth platform,” said Snyder.
