Third Street Partners covers the entire asset management space, including investments, distribution, C-suite leadership, mutual fund board positions, and endowment and foundation roles.

“Third Street Partners has always been committed to being a true partner to our clients, whose needs increasingly include access to top-tier talent in the retirement and retail spaces,” said Laura K. Pollock, founding partner of Third Street Partners. “We’re confident that this strategic partnership with HCA will allow us to meet clients’ expanding needs while enhancing our existing distribution business.”

Erin Holland-Collins, founder of HCA, said: “I am excited to partner with such a dynamic and diverse team committed to excellence and client service. Spending more than a decade sitting on the client’s side of the table at various asset management firms has given me a unique appreciation for Third Street’s client-centric approach.”

HCA was founded by Ms. Holland-Collins, whose 15 years of experience in financial services with such companies as American Express Financial Advisors, Ameriprise and Russell Investments enabled her to build extensive networks in intermediary and institutional distribution, marketing, and execution services.
