LoCorr Funds Adds Industry Veteran to National Accounts Team

Alternative investments company LoCorr Funds has hired industry veteran John A. Norris to accelerate the distribution of LoCorr investment strategies and solutions through financial intermediaries. With over two decades of experience in private wealth management, the company emphasized Norris’ deep knowledge along with his track record of driving growth and fostering strong relationships with partner firms.
In his new role, Norris will be responsible for enhancing existing relationships with LoCorr’s broker-dealer partners, as well as expanding distribution through new selling agreements, placement in models, and on recommended lists.
“We are thrilled to welcome John to LoCorr,” said Kevin Kinzie, chief executive officer of LoCorr Funds. “John’s depth of experience distributing alternative investments will be instrumental as we continue to expand our distribution platform and product placements.”
Previously, Norris served as director of investor relations for Crowd Street Capital from 2022 to 2025, where he focused on investor fundraising and relationship management. Before that, he spent 18 years with Black Creek Capital Markets (which was acquired by Ares Management Corporation in 2021) as director of national sales, leading equity capital raising and focusing on key broker-dealer distribution partners to expand and strengthen home office relationships.
In addition, LoCorr has welcomed two new internal wholesalers, Drew Dean and Brody Munger, to further strengthen the firm’s distribution efforts with financial advisers. Both support the broader sales team.
Headquartered in Minnesota, LoCorr Funds is a provider of low-correlating investment strategies, founded on the belief that non-traditional investment strategies with low correlation to stocks and bonds can reduce risk and help increase portfolio returns.
