Van Etten will lead MFA's engagement with Congress, the Administration, and other key policymakers on a broad range of policy issues affecting the alternative asset management industry.

"John's deep understanding of financial services policy will help MFA serve our members and strengthen our work to support the alternative asset management industry's ability to raise capital, invest it, and generate returns for their beneficiaries," said Bryan Corbett, MFA President and CEO.

Prior to joining MFA, Van Etten spent more than seven years at JPMorgan Chase & Co., guiding the firm's government and regulatory affairs strategy and representing the company before Congress, multiple U.S. Administrations, foreign policymakers and regulators, and international regulatory standard-setting bodies. He also held senior government affairs roles at HSBC and The Clearing House (now the Bank Policy Institute), practiced financial services law at a major law firm, and served as a financial policy advisor in the U.S. House of Representatives.

"John brings unparalleled experience navigating Washington's complex political landscape," said Jillien Flores, MFA Chief Advocacy Officer. "His leadership will ensure MFA members have a strong voice in shaping policies that support a vibrant alternative asset management ecosystem."
