Des Moines, Aug. 2 - Pali Capital, Inc. has formed a special situations and distressed debt team, according to a company release.

Mathew Pilkington will join Pali as head trader in high yield and special situations.

Alyson Gardner Kiesel and Martha Chavez-Parizot, both of whom recently arrived from Libertas Partners, will lead the group's sales effort.

Kiesel was a leader in sales of high yield and distressed situations at CRT Capital Group and a trader of special situations at MJ Whitman. Chavez-Parizot has extensive and successful experience in research and sales at Offitbank and Miller Tabak Roberts Securities where she focused on distressed debt of emerging markets companies.

They have over 15 years' experience in sales and research in their respective fields.

Lionel Innocent, who has over 12 years' experience in the event driven and special situations sector, will do research for the group.

Before joining Pali, Innocent was a senior high yield analyst with Paragon Capital Markets.
