McGinty Road Partners

Jeff Leu, a Partner and Founder, serves as Chief Investment Officer and has overall portfolio-management responsibility. Three other named partners—Jim Musel, John Seibel, and Dave Ellingrud—lead the corporate-credit, equipment-finance, and loan-portfolio strategies respectively. The firm describes a collegial, partner-level structure built on over 100 years of combined experience working together, primarily at CarVal Investors.

McGinty Road runs three strategies: equipment finance (loans and leases on commercial equipment in transportation, construction, mining, marine, and heavy manufacturing), loan portfolios (small-balance commercial and industrial loans from banks, finance companies, and insurers), and corporate credit (tradable capital structures and private originations including restructurings and non-traditional assets). The firm describes the three strategies as 'highly inter-related.'

The firm explicitly targets credits that are too small to be meaningful for mega-funds—what it calls a 'right-sized approach to capital.' Jeff Leu formerly ran CarVal Investors at $10 billion in assets; McGinty Road is designed to address segments underserved by traditional banks and large alternative managers, including restructurings, short-time-frame situations, and out-of-favor industries where capital is scarce.

No. The firm does not publish an AUM figure on its website or in available public materials. It operates opportunistically across three credit strategies without specifying fund sizes, dry powder, or aggregate deployment.

John Seibel, a Partner and Co-Founder of McGinty Road Partners, founded Allegiance Financial Group in 2001. AFG is an equipment-finance platform that has funded over $500 million in transactions. Jeff Leu joined AFG as Vice Chairman in 2010. The two entities have overlapping leadership, but McGinty Road operates as an independent credit manager rather than a division of AFG.

Deal flow varies by strategy. Equipment finance investments come through loan and lease originations, as well as purchases of discrete schedules and portfolios from banks and other originators. Loan-portfolio sourcing relies on a network of banking relationships; Bruce Weintraub, Managing Director for Business Development, focuses exclusively on commercial-loan-portfolio sourcing. Corporate credit deals are identified through public and private markets, including bank debt, corporate debt, claims, and re-org securities.

No. McGinty Road Partners is structured as an opportunistic private-credit manager founded by a four-partner team. It manages capital across multiple strategies for external investors, not a single-family balance sheet. No family-office wealth origin is disclosed.
