Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 3 - HFP Capital Markets LLC announced that it has augmented its services to include a debt capital markets team and fixed-income sales, trading and research group. It also has expanded its institutional equity sales, trading and research team and hired junior investment professionals to support its expanded service offerings.

The new debt capital markets division will be headed by managing directors Jordan Schweon and Matt Headington, who have nearly 40 years of combined experience in investment banking and debt capital markets.

The fixed-income group will be led by managing directors Scott Siemers and Ken Casey, who have a combined 53 years of experience in fixed income and have led several similar groups at prior firms. The group consists of eight investment professionals, including a credit research team led by managing director Dan Scotto. The team will be expanding its sales efforts in high-yield, distressed and bank loan products in the coming quarters.

The institutional equity sales, trading and research team will include the addition of managing director Drew Adderly, who has 15 years of equity sales experience. Senior analyst Cynthia Houlton will also join the equity research team.

"As a fast-growing boutique, we are excited to have been able to attract such experienced and talented executives in order to enhance our ability to offer a high level of personalized service across the capital structure," managing partner Vincent Puma said in a press release. "We also are pleased to be expanding our experienced management team within our entrepreneurial environment, which is unburdened by the legacy concerns affecting others in our industry.

"By adding these investment professionals and expanding the breadth and depth of our services, we continue to work towards our vision of establishing the firm as a full service boutique investment bank. As we move forward in 2009, we will continue to opportunistically enhance the services we provide and add talent as we grow," Puma continued.

The investment banking firm is based in New York.
