Chatham Financial to acquire Hodes Weill & Associates
Chatham Financial, an independent capital markets advisory and technology firm, has agreed to acquire Hodes Weill & Associates, a New York-based capital advisory firm focusing on real estate, infrastructure, and other real assets.
Founded in 2009, Hodes Weill advises investment and fund managers, institutional investors, lenders, and owners of assets and portfolio companies on strategies in real estate, digital infrastructure, and energy transition. The firm provides institutional capital raising for funds, transactions, co-investments, and separate accounts; M&A, strategic, and restructuring advisory services; and fairness and valuation analyses.
Since its founding, the firm has advised on the private placement of approximately $33 billion of capital across institutional offerings.
Hodes Weill has a team of more than 35 professionals and offices in New York, Hong Kong, London, Amsterdam, and Tokyo.
“Hodes Weill’s specialized expertise and deep relationships with the most senior executives across real assets, as well as the institutions allocating to these sectors, will further enhance and extend Chatham’s global platform,” said Matt Henry, CEO of Chatham Financial. “Together, we will deliver a more comprehensive suite of financial services, providing clients with seamless access to best-in-class solutions across the entire capital stack.”
Founders David Hodes and Doug Weill will join Chatham’s executive leadership team and will report directly to Henry. Following the expected closing of the deal in Q2 2026, the acquired firm will operate as “Hodes Weill & Associates, a Chatham Financial Company.”
Chatham was advised by KPMG on accounting and tax diligence, while Hodes Weill received financial advisory services from Piper Sandler & Co. and tax advice from Eisner Advisory Group.
“In addition to a strong cultural alignment between the firms, this combination strengthens our ability to pair independent advice with market-leading technology, data, and analytics across the full lifecycle of our clients’ capital needs,” said Hodes.
“As momentum in institutional allocations and fund formation accelerate, the opportunity to provide differentiated capital solutions to GP clients continues to expand,” Weill added. “This partnership enables us to further invest in our team and leverage Chatham’s global platform to capitalize on these opportunities.”
Founded in 1991, Chatham helps clients mitigate risks associated with interest rate, currency, debt, commodity, and data exposures. The firm has practices in capital advisory, interest rate risk management, foreign currency risk management, commodity risk management, hedge accounting, valuation, regulatory compliance advisory, debt management, and defeasance and prepayment.
Chatham works with 4,500+ companies in a wide range of industries. The firm has over 800 employees across offices in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
