Robert Horak

I am passionate about combining my background in capital markets and private credit transactions with sound valuation principles to provide clients with market-leading perspectives and advice.

Bob draws upon more than 30 years of experience in the private capital markets to provide insightful valuation and transaction opinion services to a variety of clients including private credit funds, private equity funds, business development companies, hedge funds, credit opportunity funds, pension funds and mutual funds. Given his extensive background working with private credit and private equity funds, Bob focuses primarily on valuing illiquid debt and equity securities for fair value accounting purposes within the portfolios of investment funds.

Bob also utilizes his industry relationships to market the firm’s services and has been a frequent speaker on the topic of trends and conditions in the private capital markets.

Prior to joining the Valuations & Opinions Group, Bob spent 18 years in Lincoln’s Capital Advisory Group, where he served as co-head. Prior to joining Lincoln, Bob spent 13 years as a private credit lender including 10 years at Heller Financial and three years at GE Capital.

Bob earned a Master of Business Administration from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and a Bachelor of Arts in economics from the University of Illinois. He is a certified public accountant.
