Hayfin has appointed Marco Ferrari as a Managing Director in its Private Credit team. He will be based in Hayfin’s Stockholm office.

Marco joins with extensive experience, having been a Managing Director at Nordea where he focused on the origination and execution of leveraged loan and high-yield financings in the Nordic region. Prior to this, Marco worked in investment banking at Ermgassen & Co in London.

The appointment signifies another milestone for Hayfin’s active and growing presence in the Nordic region, following the launch of the firm’s Stockholm office and the addition of Christian Peters to the Partner Solutions team in 2022. In October 2024, Hayfin served as a lead investor through its Private Equity Solutions strategy, alongside Morgan Stanley Private Equity Secondaries, in a €320 million Single-Asset Continuation Fund established by Impilo to support its continued ownership of Immedica.

Today’s announcement follows a year of significant activity at Hayfin. Last month the firm announced strategic partnerships with Mubadala Investment Company and AXA IM Prime to acquire minority stakes in Hayfin from Arctos Partners. This follows the completion of a management buyout by Arctos in February of this year, which enabled Hayfin to increase team ownership, alignment and incentivisation while continuing to focus on delivering superior, risk-adjusted returns for its clients.

Marc Chowrimootoo, Portfolio Manager and Co-Head of Direct Lending in the Private Credit team, said: “We are delighted to welcome Marco to the Private Credit team. He brings a wealth of experience in leveraged finance having led complex transactions across the Nordic region during his time at Nordea. Marco’s arrival supports our ambition to scale the reach and impact of our Private Credit strategy as we continue to bolster our on-the-ground presence.”

Marco Ferrari, Managing Director in the Private Credit team, said: “I am delighted to join Hayfin at a time of strong momentum in the private credit space, which continues to yield significant opportunities for tailored financing solutions. I look forward to supporting the team in cementing Hayfin’s footprint in the Nordic region.”
