“Justin D’Ercole and Paul Feidelson bring decades of public and private market intelligence to this niche, but scalable, asset class. Our strategic relationship will differentiate ISO-mts in the marketplace and support its ability to scale efficiently to achieve long-term success,” said Nick Daraviras and Sol Kumin, Co-Presidents of Leucadia Asset Management.

“Our strategic relationship with Leucadia Asset Management is transformational for ISO-mts. Leucadia Asset Management’s experience, insights, resources, and vision will allow our people and business realize their full potential. Their confidence in ISO-mts validates our investment strategy and positions us on the right growth trajectory,” said Justin D’Ercole and Paul Feidelson, the founding partners of ISO-mts.
