“Ben’s extensive experience and deep understanding of alternative investments, particularly in private fund structures and investor communication, will be invaluable as we continue to grow and strengthen our investor relationships,” said Andrew DeNardo, president at FNRP. “We’re excited to welcome him to the team. His leadership will play a critical role in advancing our capital strategy and positioning the firm for sustained success.”
At FNRP, Matheson will lead the firm’s capital-raising efforts from accredited high-net-worth investors and oversee all investor-facing operations. His responsibilities will include refining communication strategies, enhancing investor engagement and building scalable systems to support the firm’s growing investor community. He will work closely with the executive team to align investor relations with FNRP’s broader strategic goals and future growth trajectory.
