Avior Capital Markets US

Avior Capital Markets US was established in 2018 by David Gentile, who serves as CEO and Chief Investment Officer. The firm operates as a registered investment advisor and broker-dealer, targeting opportunities in private credit, infrastructure, and real estate. Its New York headquarters anchors a practice that sources assets primarily across North America. The firm bridges traditional asset management and investment banking — it structures transactions and often co-invests alongside institutional clients. Avior's approach includes direct lending, structured credit, and infrastructure debt. The firm maintains relationships with family offices, pension funds, and endowments seeking yield in private markets. It has been public about focusing on asset-backed credit and essential infrastructure. Avior employs a lean team, and external reporting suggests it manages between $1 billion and $5 billion in client assets. Gentile previously held senior roles at alternative investment firms and investment banks. The firm does not publicly list additional offices beyond its New York base. No disclosed philanthropic or adjacent operating vehicles have been identified. 2024: The firm continued to focus on infrastructure and private credit origination amid a rising rate environment (per public record). Avior's structural differentiator is its hybrid model — acting simultaneously as an advisor and co-investor, which aligns it with limited partners. It structures deals that are typically too small for bulge-bracket banks but too large for single-family offices, occupying a middle-market capital formation niche.
