NorthWall Capital Appoints Attila Takacs as Co-Portfolio Manager of CLO Platform

12th October 2026

London, 12 October 2026 – NorthWall Capital (“NorthWall”), a leading European alternative credit specialist delivering private capital solutions to Western European counterparties, today announces the appointment of Attila Takacs as Co-Portfolio Manager of its CLO platform. Attila will share portfolio management responsibilities with Andrew Lawson, Head of Capital Markets & CLO Business, as NorthWall continues to build out the platform and scale the portfolio towards its first CLO issuance.

Attila brings extensive experience across European leveraged credit and CLO portfolio management. Prior to joining NorthWall, he was an Associate CLO Portfolio Manager at Sound Point Capital, where he worked across nine European CLOs representing €3.8 billion of assets under management and oversaw four CLO pricings, including three new issues and one reset. Earlier in his career, he held credit research roles at CQS and Debtwire.

Andrew Lawson joined the firm from Permira in May to launch NorthWall’s CLO platform. Andrew has overseen the build-out and pricing of 17 CLOs across Europe and the US, representing €7.5 billion of assets under management, over the course of his career. The team also includes Senior Analyst Rosalind Dalton, who has worked across 26 CLOs during her career.

NorthWall’s CLO platform sits alongside the firm’s established private credit strategies, bringing together NorthWall’s fundamental credit underwriting expertise with dedicated experience across CLO portfolio management, capital markets and public credit.

Fabian Chrobog, Founder and Chief Investment Officer at NorthWall Capital, said: “The CLO platform is an important part of NorthWall’s future. It adds public market insight alongside our European private credit business. Attila has the experience, judgement and drive to help build it. In the short time he has been with us, he has shown he is exactly the right person for the job.”

Andrew Lawson, Head of Capital Markets & CLO Business and Co-Portfolio Manager at NorthWall Capital, added: “I’ve known Attila for years, having first met him during his time at Sound Point. When I started looking for people with the right skills to build out the CLO platform, he was the first person I called. Since joining, he has been instrumental in building the platform: analysing credits, helping build out our credit selection and monitoring framework, setting up portfolio construction and compliance testing, and building our pipeline with arranging banks and sponsors. We are now ramping the portfolio together as we work towards our first issuance, and I’m excited to partner with him.”
