Beach Point Capital Hires Fred Storz as Managing Director

Beach Point Capital Management LP, a prominent global alternative investment firm managing over $20 billion, has significantly strengthened its client-facing operations with the addition of Fred Storz as Managing Director. This strategic hire, effective immediately and based in the firm's New York hub, underscores Beach Point's commitment to expanding its institutional investor base and enhancing its capital formation capabilities.

Storz will collaborate closely with Eric Storch, the firm's Global Head of Client Partnerships and Business Development. Their joint efforts will focus on cultivating investor relations, driving capital raising initiatives, and refining product development strategies. A key objective for Storz will be to deepen relationships with institutional investors, with a particular emphasis on engaging the significant capital pools located in the Midwestern United States, a region experiencing robust activity in alternative asset allocations.

With nearly two decades of experience in investor relations and capital raising, Storz brings a wealth of expertise to Beach Point. He previously held the position of Managing Director of Investor Relations at Energy Capital Partners, where he was instrumental in managing and expanding strategic relationships with a diverse array of institutional investors across North America and Europe. His prior roles include leading Business Development & Partner Relations at Farmstead Capital and serving on the Prime Services Capital Introduction team at Goldman Sachs, demonstrating a broad and deep understanding of the financial services ecosystem.

The alternative investment sector, particularly credit strategies, continues to attract substantial institutional capital. In 2023, global private debt fundraising reached record levels, exceeding $300 billion, according to industry reports. Beach Point Capital, with its integrated platform spanning Performing Credit, Opportunistic Credit, Structured Credit & Asset-Based Finance, and Private Credit, is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend. The firm's investment focus includes high yield bonds, senior loans, CLO origination, securitized credit, direct lending, and real estate credit, offering flexible capital solutions.

“Fred’s extensive network of institutional contacts and his proven ability to scale client platforms are invaluable assets,” stated Eric Storch. “As we broaden our alternative strategies, his insights will be crucial in aligning our capabilities with investor needs, especially within vital markets like the Midwest.” This sentiment is echoed by Storz, who commented, “I have long admired Beach Point’s disciplined and adaptable approach to alternative investments. The opportunity to contribute to the firm’s growth trajectory is compelling, and I am eager to expand our reach and build upon the solid foundation already established.”

Beach Point Capital, founded in 2009 and operating as an employee-owned entity, manages assets for a predominantly institutional clientele. Its global presence includes offices in Los Angeles, New York, London, and Dublin. The firm's recent activities, such as the partial refinancing of its Sandstone Peak III Collateralized Loan Obligation and recognition as Best US Boutique CLO Manager at the 2026 Creditflux CLO Awards, highlight its active engagement and standing within the credit markets.
