Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC, an investment management firm specializing in value-driven structured credit, proudly announces the implementation of its Equity Incentive Plan.

Effective immediately, it will bring more than 20 tenured employees into the ownership ranks.

"The Equity Incentive Plan reflects our desire to reward those who have helped drive our growth, while giving our investors, customers and business partners the confidence of knowing we have a team that is fully invested in delivering quality results and service," said Sreeni Prabhu, founder and co-CEO of Angel Oak Companies. "We wanted to reward those individuals who have shown dedication and created value for the firm, and we couldn't think of a better way to accomplish this than by endowing them with a stake as partners in the continued growth of the business."

"Over the years, Angel Oak has evolved from a founder-led investment boutique firm into a multifaceted enterprise serving as a platform for both Angel Oak's investment management and mortgage lending companies," stated David Silvera, chief operating officer of Angel Oak Capital Advisors. "The Equity Incentive Plan further underscores the transformation of Angel Oak since its inception in 2008 and reinforces the commitment we have made to developing talented professionals across all functional areas of the firm."

Angel Oak Capital Advisors has created a team-based environment to maximize its organizational depth. As a continuation of this organizational development, John Hsu is named as chief risk officer to broaden the firm's risk focus to encompass enterprise-wide risk management, including portfolio risk.
