This partnership strengthens Chatham’s ability to serve its clients and invest in its areas of growth, building on the firm’s long-term business strategy and operational excellence.
The investment builds on recent momentum for Chatham.

Under the transaction, Vikram S. Pandit joins the Board, Matt Henry continues as Chief Executive Officer, and Amol Dhargalkar continues as Chairman.
Matt Henry, Chatham’s Chief Executive Officer, stated: “For more than 35 years, we have helped our clients navigate capital markets with independence and expertise. This strategic investment allows us to maintain that long-term perspective and commitment to clients as we continue to innovate and deliver powerful capital markets solutions.”
Vikram S. Pandit added: “Chatham is an exceptional firm with a long track record of providing trusted advice and advanced technology to its clients. We are excited to support the Chatham team in their next chapter of growth.”
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including required receipt of regulatory approvals. The parties expect to close in late Q4 2026 or early Q1 2027.
