Hoyt Stastney Joins RueOne Investments Board of Directors
RueOne Investments, LLC (RueOne), the alternative asset manager that offers institutional asset owners and family offices direct investment opportunities on a deal by deal basis, today announced the appointments of Hoyt Stastney to the RueOne Board of Directors.
Hoyt Stastney, currently the General Counsel at Bronfman E.L. Rothschild, a wealth management firm, will chair RueOne’s Legal, Compliance and Cybersecurity Committee. A focus of the Compliance and Cybersecurity Committee will be ensuring that RueOne adopts and maintains best-in-class policies and procedures in the areas of compliance and cybersecurity.
“We are very pleased to welcome Hoyt Stastney to our Board of Directors, each of whom brings an impressive track record in finance and a deep familiarity with the institutional side of alternative investing,” said RueOne Founder and CEO Jeff Baehr.
RueOne recently launched its alternative asset management business, providing institutional investors, family offices and other qualified investors with à la carte access to proprietary direct investment opportunities on a deal by deal basis. Its institutional quality online platform features compelling, curated deals sourced from its global network and managed by top investment talent. Through RueOne investors can invest directly in a single transaction, such as a private equity deal or a piece of mezzanine debt, rather than commingled funds.
Stastney has built a prominent law career in financial services with a practice focused on securities, corporate finance, investment management, financial institutions, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance and general corporate law. “RueOne provides investors with a unique and compelling way to access direct investment opportunities,” said Stastney. “An increasing number of investors are seeking ways to invest in alternative deals, and RueOne is really the first institutional quality solution that can properly satisfy this demand. I am excited about my new role.”
