Moelis & Company Expands Washington D.C. Office and Financial Institutions Group with Appointment of Trevor Montano as Managing Director
Moelis & Company (NYSE: MC), a leading global independent investment bank, today announced the appointment of Trevor Montano as a Managing Director providing financial and strategic advice to regional banks and non-bank lenders. He is based in the Firm’s Washington D.C. office.
Mr. Montano has 17 years of both public and private sector experience, having most recently served as the Chief Investment Officer at the U.S. Department of the Treasury. While at the Treasury, he managed a portfolio of financial institution investments made by the U.S. Government under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) during the financial crisis. Prior to his public service, Mr. Montano held senior positions as an M&A investment banker in the financial institution groups at Citigroup and UBS where he was responsible for coverage of U.S. Banks and diversified financial companies. He began his career as a BIG 4 consultant focused on transactions in the financial services sector. He is also a CFA charterholder and serves on the board of the CFA Society Washington D.C.
“The combination of rising interest rates, an evolving financial regulatory framework and the prospects for greater economic growth will likely result in increased activity in the U.S. regional banking space,” said Jeff Raich, Co-President at Moelis & Company. “The financial sector has also seen an expansion of alternative and non-bank lenders which have attracted a significant amount of capital and spurred greater investments in technology and the customer experience. As regional banks and other financial institutions continue to adapt to both structural and regulatory changes in the industry, Trevor’s extensive and unique experience will be tremendously beneficial to our clients. We look forward to having him extend our leading financial institutions franchise beyond our well-established coverage of asset managers, insurance companies and exchanges.”
