New York-based American Capital Access is looking to add two asset-backed securities analysts, says Maryam Muessel, chief operating officer. Both analysts will report to Laura Schwartz, managing director and senior credit officer for ABS, who supervises a group of 60 staffers. Schwartz says both positions are newly created due to the growth of the firm's structured finance operations. The two new analysts will be in charge of making recommendations for bond purchases. One will specialize in residential mortgage-backed securities while the other will be a generalist.
