Peter Grossman General Information

Biography

Mr. Peter Grossman is the Founder and serves as Managing Director at FG Capital Management. He has designed and executed hundreds of transactions in emerging markets for 25 years. He has managed a wide variety of investments from an auto financing company in Poland, and a steel mill in Bulgaria, to a cocoa trading company in Cote d'Ivoire and an investment fund in Brazil. He has often advised sovereign countries, helping them resolve their external debt claims and manage debt repurchase programs. Mr. Grossman's experience in advising sovereigns regarding their debt management has given him a unique perspective on countries facing debt problems. There are certain countries that are unable to honor their contractual commitments to exogenous shocks often beyond their control, and there are others who largely chose not to do so - countries that are so terribly mismanaged that their primary governmental function is corruption. Often, such corruption is accompanied by the paradox of substantial natural resource wealth and glaring poverty. Mr. Grossman has extensive experience in advising companies that have ended up in the crosshairs of such regimes.
