Eaton Partners adds to GP stakes team

Wednesday, November 30, 2022
Opalesque Industry Update - Eaton Partners, one of the largest placement agents and financial advisory firms and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stifel Financial Corp., is pleased to announce the hiring of Charles Korchinski as a Director, who will spearhead the firm's new GP Stakes Advisory practice.

In this new role, Mr. Korchinski will advise general partners on a broad range of strategic matters, with a specific focus on minority and majority stake sales.

"Eaton Partners has a long history of raising capital in various forms for leading asset managers for nearly 40 years," said Jeff Eaton, Global Co-Head and Managing Director at Eaton Partners. "Adding a dedicated stakes advisory practice is a natural extension of our platform and gives us the ability to offer clients another tool to help them grow or enhance their businesses. We are thrilled to have someone with Charles' experience lead this effort."

"Eaton Partners brings an intimate knowledge of the GP community, and gives us a unique advantage in the marketplace," added Brad Raymond, Stifel Global Head of Investment Banking. "Eaton is fully integrated into the broader Stifel platform, meaning we can deliver an entire set of products and solutions aimed at financial sponsors globally."

Prior to joining Eaton Partners, Mr. Korchinski was Co-Founder and Principal at Bonaccord Capital Partners, where he led investment research and sponsor origination efforts for the firm. Throughout his time at Bonaccord, Mr. Korchinski committed approximately $1.5 billion of capital to nine portfolio companies, and originated and assessed more than 200 prospective investments. Earlier in his career, Mr. Korchinski was a Partner and Director of Liquid Strategies at Larch Lane Advisors/Fiera Capital.

"As a pioneer in the fund placement business, Eaton Partners anticipates and understands the unique needs of GPs better than any other firm in the marketplace," noted Mr. Korchinski. "I am excited to join the firm and look forward to working with GPs on future transactions."
