Garrison Point Capital strives to provide institutional-quality advice and expertise to sophisticated investors. The firm was founded to offer intelligent fixed income solutions in an environment where traditional "risk-free" assets offer little yield and are exposed to significant downside should interest rates rise. Through a disciplined focus on capital preservation and search for asymmetrical risk/return opportunities within fixed income, the firm seeks to find attractive niche opportunities.
"Brian is a fantastic addition to our portfolio management team," said Tom Miner, co-Founder and Principal. "The depth of experience in asset-backed securities that Brian brings to Garrison Point will enhance our ability to find unique investment opportunities that offer out-sized returns for our clients."
"We are fortunate to have Brian join us and expand our capabilities in esoteric asset-backed securities. Investing in esoteric ABS demands years of experience and a network of trusted relationships. By adding Brian to the team, we are adding that capability and positioning Garrison Point to be a leader in the space," said Garrett Smith, co-founder and Principal.
Brian Loo adds almost 20 years of institutional fund management experience to the team. He joins Garrison Point from TCW where he was a Portfolio Manager in the Structured Products group. Brian began his career in the mortgage backed securities department of TCW in 1994 and in 1996 left to become one of the founding members of Metropolitan West Asset Management, a Los Angeles core fixed income money manager. In 2009, Metropolitan West was acquired by his alma mater, TCW, where Brian went on to manage non-mortgage structured products portfolios, including investments in collateralized loan obligations and esoteric asset backed securities.
