NEW YORK and LONDON, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Moody Aldrich Partners (MAP), a private investment firm based in Boston, has committed US$300 million to funds managed by Sandglass Capital, an investment firm specializing in emerging market special opportunities. Founded in 1988, MAP is a fiduciary for discreet families and institutions with a legacy of supporting high-calibre, specialist managers known for their expertise and disciplined execution.
Sandglass Capital, founded in 2013, concentrates on event-driven investments in sovereign and corporate credit and equity opportunities in Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and South Asia.

“We are honoured to have been selected by MAP, an astute long-term investor whom we deeply respect,” notes Genna Lozovsky, Sandglass Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer, “Their commitment enables us to take advantage of the wide range of opportunities in emerging markets in the coming years.”
Sandglass co-founder Michelle Kelner adds, “This commitment by MAP adds Sandglass to a very short list of firms to receive its backing over their 37 years of investing. We look forward to a mutually rewarding partnership for years to come.”
Bill Moody, MAP Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer shared, “Uncovering overlooked emerging markets sovereign and corporate opportunities requires the acumen, judgment and expertise we found most evident in Sandglass Capital.”
MAP’s Chief Investment Officer and Co-Executive Officer Eli Kent corroborates, “Sandglass has built an exceptional team. Their acute understanding of and ability to capitalize upon restructurings, turnarounds and market dislocations — as well as their ability to engage with local decision makers and mitigate systemic risks — were some of the many factors that inspired our conviction and decision to invest in the firm.”
