amicaa poaches Fidante exec

amicaa Investments - the credit specialist that teamed up with the Carlyle Group - has welcomed Marino Reginold to the firm as head of distribution.

Chief executive David Wood said in the new role, Reginold will help build out its third-party funds management business by raising capital from local institutional and wholesale investors.

"Marino will lead the distribution of amicaa's private credit capabilities to third-party investors looking to invest in private credit as we continue deploying capital to mid-to-large cap corporates in Australia and New Zealand," Wood said.

Reginold replaces Jeremy Gordon, who quit the company last October.

The recruit was at Fidante for about 18 months, joining from Elanor Investors Group as head of private capital.

He earlier worked in investment banking at Macquarie Group and JP Morgan.

amicaa was founded in 2019 and has a joint venture agreement with funds managed by the Carlyle's global credit platform.

Reginold is the second executive to depart Fidante Partners in the last week.

After six years there, Matthew Holberton has left to join Ares Wealth Management Solutions.
