History

edit

Angelo Gordon is 100% employee-owned, SEC-registered, and has over 600 employees and more than 200 investment professionals.[10]

John Angelo and Michael Gordon founded the firm on strategies with which they had 15 years of prior experience: distressed securities, risk arbitrage, and convertible arbitrage. The multi-strategy platform was added in 1993 as a way to offer investors a single fund which captured many of Angelo Gordon’s investment strategies and could tactically allocate as markets shifted. In 1998, the leveraged loan business was added as an extension of the distressed debt business.[5][11]

The firm began buying real estate as early as 1990 through investments in the distressed debt of bankrupt real estate companies. In 1993, as real estate markets buckled under the weight of too much debt, the firm launched its opportunistic real estate strategy investments to improve and reposition the property by increasing operating income.[4]

In early 2002, the company added core plus real estate to its real estate strategies as it was able to benefit from its operating partner network, and purchase high quality real estate.[4] Since 2005, the firm has expanded its real estate offerings through a dedicated opportunistic Asian real estate strategy.[12] In the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008 and the European banking crisis of 2011, Angelo Gordon added European real estate to its strategies as prices were depressed and liquidity was severely curtailed in the region.[13]

Net Lease real estate strategy was established in 2005 to focus on below investment grade tenants.[14] Angelo Gordon further expanded into the intersections of real estate and credit with the addition of real estate debt in 2006[15] and residential and consumer debt in 2008.[16]

In 2009, Angelo Gordon was one of only nine private investment firms to partner with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in PPIP—the Private-Public Investment Partnership.[17] The U.S. government invested alongside the selected firms to unlock the frozen credit markets in the wake of the global financial crisis.[18] This was a successful program.[19][20][21]

The firm took advantage of the post-2008 financial crisis contraction in bank lending to smaller companies through senior secure direct lending to energy companies in 2013[22] and to middle market borrowers in the private equity sponsor community in 2014.[23] Additionally, in 2014, the firm launched Twin Brook Capital Partners, its middle market direct lending subsidiary, which provides cash-flow based financing solutions for the middle market private equity community.[24]

After becoming president of Angelo Gordon in October 2013,[25] Larry Schloss left the company in March 2016.[26] Five years after John M Angelo passed away,[27] co-founder Michael Gordon stepped down as chief executive officer and co-chief investment officer on January 1, 2021, and was succeeded by co-chief investment officers Josh Baumgarten and Adam Schwartz.[28]

In May 2023, private equity firm TPG Inc. announced it would acquire Angelo Gordon in a cash and stock deal valued at $2.7 billion.[2] The purchase was completed in November.
