History

Archview was founded in 2009 by Jeffrey Jacob and John Humphrey. Upon the firm's inception, Archview focused chiefly on corporate credit and distressed corporate assets.[3] Jacob and Humphrey brought several of their colleagues from Citigroup to join them at Archview, calling it a “spin-off” more than a “start-up.”[4]

Archview was part of a group of creditors to offer a $1 billion loan to Puerto Rico in 2017, during the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. The loan was rejected by the Puerto Rican fiscal agency for unfavorable conditions.[5][6]

In December 2017, Bloomberg News reported that the firm was shutting down and would begin returning money to investors the following year.[7][8]

Management

Jeffrey Jacob and John Humphrey are Founding Principals and Co-Chief of Investment Officers of Archview Investment Group.[9] Prior to founding Archview, both Jacob and Humphrey worked at Citigroup and Merrill Lynch & Co.[10][9]
