FPA Announces Partner Thomas H. Atteberry to Transition to Senior Advisor Role in July 2022


First Pacific Advisors, LP ("FPA") announced today that Thomas H. Atteberry, Partner of FPA and Co-Portfolio Manager of FPA New Income (FPNIX), FPA Flexible Fixed Income (FPFIX) and Source (News - Alert) Capital, Inc. (SOR) (the "Funds"), will step down from the partnership and transition from Co-Portfolio Manager to a Senior Advisor role next year, effective July 1, 2022.

Abhijeet (Abhi) Patwardhan, Partner of FPA and Fund Co-Portfolio Manager beginning in 2015, will continue to serve as Portfolio Manager of the Funds. The investment team's investment philosophy and process, which have been in place since 1984, will not change as a result of the transition.

"After almost 25 fulfilling years at FPA, I have decided that a year from now I will step back from the partnership and managing the Funds day-to-day. I made this decision after careful planning with Abhi over the last few years and in consultation and with the full support of my other partners and the Funds' Board of Directors. I have great confidence that Abhi and the team can continue to deliver strong long-term risk-adjusted results for shareholders going forward. Since Abhi joined the team in 2010, he has been instrumental to accomplishing our objectives. I'm proud of what we have accomplished, particularly FPA New Income's 36th consecutive positive calendar year return last year. I look forward to making meaningful contributions in my new role and will continue to have a personal investment not only in the Funds, but also in the firm's other strategies as well," said Mr. Atteberry.

"Tom has been a wonderful mentor and partner. Over the years, he has helped cultivate a unique investing culture that will survive long after he steps back and will serve us all for years to come," said Mr. Patwardhan.

Richard Atwood and Steven Romick, Managing Partners of the firm, said, "We are grateful to Tom, one of our original partners, for the contributions he has made to FPA and the Funds over the last two and half decades and appreciate his ongoing commitment to the Funds and the investment team. We appreciate and look forward to Abhi and his team's continued successful stewardship."

Tom and Abhi will discuss the transition and answer questions during the Q2 2021 FPA New Income and FPA Flexible Fixed Income webcast on August 3 at 1:00 pm PDT (webcast registration link). A replay of the webcast will be posted on fpa.com approximately 10 business days later.
