Prytania Asset Management has appointed Fahd Basir (pictured), as a Managing Director. Basir’s broad structured credit experience over 14 years includes both agent and principal transactions across the capital structure over a wide variety of asset classes.
He will be based in Prytania’s newly opened New York City office.
Previously, Basir was a Director at 25 Capital Partners, where he was instrumental in launching a closed-end mortgage opportunities fund. Before that he was a Senior Vice President at Atlantic Asset Management and portfolio manager for its TALF Fund, where he managed a USD1.1 billion ABS portfolio. Prior to moving to the buy-side Fahd executed approximately USD44 billion in asset-backed securitisations across various asset classes including residential mortgages, auto loans, student loans, credit cards, and esoteric assets at UBS and Bank of America.
Fahd’s skill set is an excellent addition to Prytania’s already strong structured credit capabilities which include RMBS, CLOs, ABS, CMBS, CREs and TruPs in Europe and the US.
