structured products, Troy Dixon is a seasoned, accomplished investor who has managed multi-billion dollar portfolios and traded in a variety of agency pass-throughs securities such as TBAs, specified pools of mortgages, and other mortgage derivatives. He has created significant value and return on investment for his shareholders.

In particular, Troy is notable for his deep understanding of the complex, varied nature of the mortgage world—a market that has seen considerable change and turmoil since the 2008 global financial crisis. From his time in dealing with this ever-changing market, Troy is well-positioned to offer guidance on its many nuances. This includes attempting to minimizing risk in unstable portfolios, how the market has changed in light of new government regulations, and how to take advantage of today’s technology to maximize consistent, long-term returns through structured products.

He is currently the Founder, Managing Partner, and Chief Investment Officer of Hollis Park Partners LP (“Hollis Park”), a registered investment firm named after his hometown in Queens, NY and where he lived in Duane Park, Tribeca. Hollis Park specializes in managing strategies that include the entire spectrum of structured products including both agency and non-agency securities. These include and are not limited to structured rates, structure derivatives, and structured credit. Troy founded Hollis Park out of a desire to run his own business and to provide better expertise and value to clients in light of an ever-changing market and shifting government regulations.

Because of its depth and experience in structured products, Hollis Park is innovative, nimble, and flexible in providing the best return for its partners with a particular emphasis on producing long-term returns on a consistent basis. In Troy’s words, “Hollis Park is the safe pair of hands in an insecure world”. As testament to its long-term outlook and value proposition, as well as Troy’s steady leadership, Hollis Park received $50 million in seed funding from GCM Grosvenor; one of the world’s largest independent alternative asset management firms.

Troy is especially proud of the diversity of Hollis Park as he believes that such diversity is a source of strength; it allows an organization to be adaptive and flexible. It draws on a wide range of views, beliefs, and mindsets. While many companies pay lip service to the importance of diversity, Troy has walked his talk. The initial hires at Hollis Park include minorities and women, in prominent positions.

Prior to founding Hollis Park, Troy was the Head of the RMBS Trading Group at Deutsche Bank, leading a team of 70 traders and about 100 business staff. During this time, he also served on two executive committees within Deutsche Bank: the Corporate Banking and Securities Americas Executive Committee and the Rates and Credit Trading Executive Committee. In both committees, Troy helped manage the business and provide strategic direction for his group and the firm.

SIFMA communicates and coordinates with various federal, state, and local authorities, providing representation and a single, unifying voice for the interests of asset management firms, securities, and banks.

Prior to his time at Deutsche Bank, Troy was the head of Pass-Thru Trading, first at Credit Suisse and later at UBS.
