Toronto – July 23, 2019 – Accord Financial Corp. ("Accord") (TSX: ACD) is proud to congratulate CapX Partners (“CapX”) on their Platinum anniversary, celebrating twenty years of achievement. “CapX and its four outstanding partners have been leaders in the middle market finance community, and have brought vital financing to businesses throughout the U.S. over two decades,” said Accord CEO Simon Hitzig, adding “they consistently raise the bar, setting the standard for excellence in our markets.”

Founded in 1999 by Jeff Pfeffer and Jim Hallene, since joined by partners Barrett Carlson and Eric Starr, CapX deployed nearly $500 million via four funds before joining the Accord family in 2017.
