First National Realty Partners (FNRP), a Red Bank-based private equity commercial real estate firm, on Tuesday said it appointed Ben Matheson as its new head of Investor Relations. In this key leadership role, Matheson will be responsible for overseeing all investor-facing initiatives and leading the firm’s capital formation strategy, marking a significant step in FNRP’s ongoing commitment to delivering a top-tier experience for its accredited investors.
Matheson brings over 25 years of capital markets experience to FNRP. He has a strong background in investor relations, sales strategy, and product development. Most recently, he served as director of the Private Client Group at Integris Real Estate Investments, where he was instrumental in expanding the firm’s direct-to-investor fundraising platform.
“Ben’s extensive experience and deep understanding of alternative investments, particularly in private fund structures and investor communication, will be invaluable as we continue to grow and strengthen our investor relationships,” Andrew DeNardo, president at FNRP said. “We’re excited to welcome him to the team. His leadership will play a critical role in advancing our capital strategy and positioning the firm for sustained success.”
At FNRP, Matheson will lead the firm’s capital-raising efforts from high-net-worth investors and refine communication strategies to enhance investor engagement. He’ll also build scalable systems to support the firm’s expanding investor community and collaborate with the executive team to align investor relations with the firm’s broader strategic goals.
“I’m excited to join FNRP at such a pivotal time,” Matheson said. “This role offers a unique opportunity to expand our reach, elevate the investor experience, and help shape the firm’s next chapter. I’m looking forward to partnering with the team to build on the strong foundation already in place and to deliver solutions that drive long-term value for both the firm and its investors.”
