He also served as President of Prospero Capital Management, an investment adviser based in Chicago.

“Ben further strengthens our team of proven investment professionals at Arctaris,” commented Jonathan Tower, Managing Partner of Arctaris Funds and Arctaris Impact Fund, LP. “Arctaris will not only benefit from Ben’s proven 25+ year track record in the alternative investment space, but also his legal acumen and learning agility.

“I am excited to join an experienced and talented team at Arctaris dedicated to Economic Development and Impact Lending of underserved and underbanked communities nationwide” said Ben Bornstein. “Arctaris is providing an invaluable service to companies in these communities, after bank lending dropped precipitously in these areas following the severe economic downturn in 2008-09.
