MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 30, 2024-- Piper Sandler Companies (NYSE: PIPR), a leading investment bank, is pleased to announce the addition of Matt Monaco as a managing director to its fixed income trading team. Monaco’s hiring marks a strategic buildout of the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) 7(a) loan platform at Piper Sandler.

“Matt is a well-known and highly respected member of the SBA community. We are excited to have him on board leading this effort for Piper Sandler. Matt’s extensive experience and market relationships will help us better serve our financial institution client base by providing them liquidity as a purchaser of guaranteed 7(a) loans as well as offering them new issue 7(a) pooled securities,” said Chris Howley, head of structured finance at Piper Sandler.
