Greywolf Capital Management

Jonathan Savitz is the CEO and Matthew Hulsizer is the Chief Investment Officer, a structure they have maintained since founding the firm in 2008. Both held senior trading roles on Goldman Sachs' proprietary desk before spinning out. The concentrated leadership means investment committee decisions sit directly with the named principals.

The firm leans heavily on the restructuring-ecosystem relationships Savitz and Hulsizer have built across legal, advisory, and creditor-committee circles over multiple distressed cycles. Greywolf participates in negotiated, off-market transactions where its ability to move quickly and hold complex, illiquid positions gives it an edge over managers with stricter liquidity constraints.

Greywolf's most recent Form ADV filing showed roughly $2.4 billion in regulatory assets under management. The firm has not publicly disclosed a precise AUM figure through a press release or a widely cited media report, making the ADV the best public benchmark for its scale.

Greywolf primarily executes direct positions in individual credits and distressed situations rather than making third-party fund commitments. Its structure allows it to hold concentrated stakes in restructured entities and originate private credit deals directly, with the flexibility to participate in post-reorganization equity and litigation claims.

The expertise traces back to the founders' tenure on Goldman Sachs' proprietary-trading desk, where both Savitz and Hulsizer specialized in distressed and structured credit. That desk was a prominent training ground for managers who later launched their own firms with a focus on capital-structure arbitrage and event-driven credit strategies.
