Larry Holzenthaler Joins as Senior Portfolio Manager to Support Fixed Income Offerings and Deepen Firm Capabilities

NEW YORK, Aug. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Catalyst Capital Advisors LLC, a leading provider of alternative and innovative investment solutions, today announced the hiring of Larry Holzenthaler as Senior Portfolio Manager for select fixed income products. This hire represents Catalyst’s commitment to the non-traditional fixed income space by bolstering its internal lineup of seasoned investment professionals.

“As we continue to grow as an organization, we believe it is important to further distinguish ourselves as leaders in non-traditional fixed income,” said Jerry Szilagy, CEO of Catalyst. “Larry brings over 20 years of experience in investment analysis and management, and his knowledge will allow the firm to enhance its fixed income offerings and strengthen its position in this growing space.”

Prior to joining Catalyst, Holzenthaler worked as a Portfolio Manager and Senior Alternatives Strategist at First Eagle Alternative Credit (formerly, THL Credit), where he worked on a team managing private and liquid credit portfolios. Prior to his tenure at First Eagle, Holzenthaler held a number of positions within the Nuveen organization, including as a Credit Analyst and Investment Strategist, both at Nuveen and former Nuveen affiliate Symphony Asset Management, which specialized in alternative credit products.

“With base rates elevated, fixed income and credit markets can provide a compelling total return opportunity for investors.

As Senior Portfolio Manager of a number of fixed income strategies, Holzenthaler will play a significant role in the general oversight of a number of the firm’s income funds and will assist clients with positioning across the Firm’s fixed income products.
