LIHTC Syndicator Elevates Two in Key Roles

National Equity Fund, a Chicago-based low-income housing tax credit syndicator, has promoted Reena Bramblett to SVP of proprietary equity placement. It has also created a new department, special initiatives, and appointed Karen Przypyszny as managing director of the group.

Bramblett has been with NEF for seven years, and was instrumental in the growth of proprietary equity placements as she managed key relations with several investors. She previously worked at Homestead Equity Fund, and has an extensive background in originations, accounting and fund management.

During Przypyszny’s 17 years at NEF, she has served as SVP in acquisitions, and most recently in investor relations. As managing director of special initiatives, she will initially focus on the new Opportunity Zones program, a national community investment plan that’s intended to use tax incentives to spur long-term investments in areas of the country that struggle with high poverty and slow job growth.
