This transaction further advances our long-term strategy of growing our fixed income and related businesses, particularly in the insurance space, a sector in which the Peak 8 professionals have deep experience,” said Chris Hunt, CEO of Hunt Capital.

“I, along with the rest of the Peak 8 team, am very excited to be part of the Hunt organization. We think that Peak 8 will compliment Hunt’s existing asset management platform and that together we will utilize our shared resources and investment styles to grow both of our businesses,” said Moran.
