Founded in 2005, EJF Capital focuses on investment opportunities in financial services, targeting all levels of the capital structure on both a long-only and long/short basis. Specifically, the firm’s strategy seeks out ideas stemming from regulatory and structural changes impacting the banking sector, insurance companies and specialty finance.
Headquartered just outside of Washington DC, the firm was founded by Manny Friedman and Neal Wilson in 2005. In 2013, it established a European base in London, led by Hammad Khan (pictured, above left) and Peter Stage (pictured, above right), EJF’s senior managing directors in Europe. Lucas Netter, a director also focused on portfolio management, joined in 2014.
