Z Capital boosts credit team

New York-based Z Capital Group appointed Shahid Khoja as a director and member of its Z Capital Credit Partners’ investment team, where he will conduct research and analysis on current and prospective performing and distressed investments.

Khoja served most recently at Garrison Investment Group’s corporate credit investment team, where he was a decision-maker on investments in credit opportunities across various sectors, including liquid and illiquid primary and secondary performing and stressed/distressed opportunities for the firm’s collaterized loan obligations, credit opportunities fund and private credit funds.

“We anticipate significant opportunities in the months and years ahead to strategically deploy capital in both performing and distressed credits,” said ZCG Founder, President and CEO James J. Zenni in a statement welcoming Khoja to the $2.8 billion firm. “I am confident that with his more than a decade of credit investing experience, he is the right person to help us build out ZCCP’s Investment Team and capitalize on these opportunities.”
